The Mark and Environment Court of Appeal upheld the prohibition of specific logging operations to protect the crested tit. The Skogsstyrelsen argued that logging would harm the species, a position the lower court and this appellate court found supported by evidence. Consequently, the court ruled that the protection measures were legally justified and necessary for the conservation of the bird.
