I obviously don't know about Norway, but in most developed countries, the number one reason for habitat destruction or disruption is going to be animal agriculture, or highspeed road infrastructure. While I can't prove it, it seems too convenient that people suddenly care about "nature" right after they've fucked it up for so many other reasons.

The surface of both of these things hasn't changed much in the last 30 years.

Source?
It was also my understanding that large amounts of habitat (e.g. Amazon rainforest) are lost for beef production and agriculture in general.
Road surfaces I don't specifically know in terms of habitat area loss, but they split up habitat areas, and surely we'll have gotten more road surface as we went from ~6 to ~8 billion people on the planet in the last 30 years? How could that have stayed roughly the same?!

Obviously its extremely arbitrary and selective.

Moral posturing and virtue signalling is a huge part of Scandinavian culture in general.
