"Moose and people during 8000 years in Sweden" is a popular science book about the king of the forest. The authors are researchers at SLU.

Three researchers at SLU have been awarded grants within the Wallenberg Foundations’ initiative in humanities and social science forest research. The projects will generate new knowledge on forest restoration, forest owners’ decisions and the role of forest history in future forest management.

13 new research projects in the humanities and social sciences receive SEK 90 million from the Wallenberg Foundations. The initiative complements the research within the Wallenberg Initiatives in Forest Research (WIFORCE) programme and broadens knowledge about the role of forests in society.
