2026 Grimsås: Avslutande fröaktion
Efter två veckor hade 100 personer sått 100 kg frön på Neovas torvgruvor. Många anmäldes av polis för bl.a. grov skadegörelse. "Torvgeneralen" påstår att skadan uppgick till 100-tals miljoner.

Neova’s head office in Finland splashed with red paint
On 3 September, Återställ Våtmarker carried out a protest outside Neova’s head office in Jyväskylä, Finland. The façade was sprayed with red paint and a large banner was hung from the roof bearing the message “Neova out of Sweden”.
The protest was organised to draw attention to the company’s illegal activities at Grimsås Mosse and other peat extraction sites across Sweden, where Neova is extracting agricultural peat despite its licence being restricted to energy peat. At Grimsås Mosse, the company attempted to amend the agreement to cover agricultural peat but was refused permission by the Västergötland County Administrative Board this spring.
Neova is Sweden’s largest peat producer and accounts for over 70 per cent of peat extraction. The parent group is based in Finland, where the company is 50.1 per cent owned by the Finnish state. In 2024, Finland received 465 million euros from the EU in transition support to, amongst other things, phase out peat extraction in its own country, whilst Neova’s peat production in Sweden emits more greenhouse gases than domestic flights in Sweden.
- We have put our stamp on the head office in Jyväskylä itself. Neova, get out of Sweden. It’s time to pack up and go home, and leave our vital carbon sinks in our country in peace,” says Anders Bäcklund from Sweden, aged 72, who took part in the action alongside five other people.

Neova, get out of Sweden!
Mildred, 78, and Anki, 38, joined forces and displayed a clear message to the peat giant Neova OY on the funnel of the Finland ferry.
The time has come. The fossil fuel company Neova must, once and for all, pack up its gear and leave the Swedish peat bogs in peace.
Ban peat extraction now!

Bye-bye, Neova!
Read the full judgementLast spring, Neova applied to amend the agreement for Grimsås Mosse, changing the designation from energy peat to cultivation peat – the County Administrative Board said NO.
Determined as Neova is, they appealed to the Land and Environment Court, as it is clearly very important to Neova that the agreement be amended. Now the decision has come – NO – REJECTED. No amendment to the agreement.
Why is it important to Neova, then?
Well, because the energy peat lies much deeper than the 60 cm that Neova will have time to extract at Grimsås Mosse before the agreement expires.
So what does that mean? Well, Neova won’t have time to extract a single gram of energy peat. They want to sell the peat as horticultural peat, just as they do – IN BREACH OF THE AGREEMENTS – at a number of other peat mines.
Neova is a rogue company that cuts corners and acts underhandedly, but now their cheating has been brought out into the open.
Goodbye, Neova!
Why resistance?
It is about much more than just wetlands.
Science indicates that we are heading towards a global civilisational collapse and mass extinction, yet politicians are allowing continued destruction to take us to the brink.
DonateWho are we?
We exist because our politicians have long since betrayed all of humanity. It is now up to the people to do what those in power refuse to do - protect life and each other.
We do this by acting peacefully and effectively.
Our vision
We want the people to decide through citizens' councils how to make Sweden a great country that cares for its people.
Through an unprecedented transition, we will achieve a society free of greenhouse gas emissions and toxins, where the world's children can grow up safe and healthy.
Research about us
Research confirms that our disruptive actions have had an impact
The UK-based Social Change Lab has published a research report on the Restore Wetlands campaign.
The analysis, which spans from the movement's inception in 2022 until the movement declared victory for its wetland restoration demand in April 2024, provides strong support for Restore Wetlands' strategies and tactics and identifies a series of successes.
Supreme Court acquits protesters of sabotage
On 9 July, the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in the now famous sabotage case.
An almost three-year-long legal process has come to a conclusion. All members of Restore Wetlands are now acquitted for the demonstration they carried out in August 2022 on the E4 motorway in Stockholm.

We have a choice:

Give 1% of your salary for the climate
According to a study in Nature, 69% of the world's population is willing to give 1% of their salary to the fight against global warming. If you are one of them, you can easily give a gift to the fight.
Take the chance and support Sweden's most radical climate movement.
We have a plan on how to stop emissions and reach our vision.
For this we need enough money.

You are in a revolutionary time
The elite and those in power have forced you into a revolutionary situation. Because if our societies collapse, this century is the last chapter of humanity.
Humanity has reached a tipping point: the odds are against us and we need to do the impossible to save our civilisation and life on Earth from unimaginable suffering and global collapse.
But an act of love is performed no matter what the odds. Because without love, we can neither live nor survive.
Humans have defied the odds before with their will and co-operation - we can do it again. History has shown this, time and time again.
Which side of history do you want to be on?

This is what we have achieved so far
