At Norrskin, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s part of our DNA.
As spring blossoms across Sweden and the Earth awakens from its winter slumber, nature reminds us of its resilience and capacity for renewal. In this blog post, we take you on a journey through four powerful examples of environmental progress — from Gotland’s native flower revival to Norrskin’s own sustainable practices — highlighting how small steps lead to long-term impact. 🌿

🌸 Scandinavia: Protecting Endangered Flora in Gotland
Gotland, the Swedish island known for its unique climate and biodiversity, has recently launched a protection program to safeguard endangered native plants such as the sand pink (Dianthus arenarius) and rare orchid species. These botanical treasures are not only visually stunning, but also vital for the local ecosystem. Their conservation is a crucial step toward reversing biodiversity loss — a cause that deeply aligns with Norrskin’s values.
Native plants are essential in maintaining ecological balance. They support pollinators, improve soil health, and help in regulating local climate conditions. Programs like this are a testimony to how regional action can influence global sustainability.
🌱 Europe: Ireland’s Moss Revival in Peatlands
Across the sea in Ireland, restoration work is transforming degraded peatlands. Native moss species such as Sphagnum are being reintroduced to revive natural carbon sinks. Peatlands, while covering just 3% of the Earth’s surface, store over 30% of the world’s soil carbon — making them critical in the fight against climate change.
By reviving these ecosystems, Ireland is not only protecting biodiversity but also enhancing climate resilience. This restoration effort also marks a turning point in European environmental policy, where nature-based solutions are becoming central to climate mitigation strategies.
🐟 World: The Return of Salmon to California’s Klamath River
In 2024, salmon returned to California’s Klamath River for the first time in over a century. This was made possible by the removal of four major dams — the largest dam removal project in U.S. history. The Klamath River, once teeming with salmon, had seen a drastic decline due to blocked migration paths and deteriorating water quality.
This monumental environmental restoration is more than symbolic; it’s a win for biodiversity, local Indigenous communities, and future generations. It shows how large-scale cooperation — between governments, tribes, and conservation groups — can undo centuries of ecological damage.
