Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 665 consultation files tracked so far (57,774 submissions, mostly 2021–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Among the 1106 non-governmental organisations on this site, they rank #220 by legislative files engaged, a count of participation, not a measure of influence.

Protecting the Forest Sweden [Protect Skogen] We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this highly strategic topic. Our comments mainly relate to the bioenergy framework. Our full comments can be found in the attached document, but our main observations are as follows: Burning wood-based bioenergy does not reduce greenhouse gas emissions and does not contribute to improving the climate.

Protect the Forest welcomes the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 calling for legally binding EU nature restoration targets to restore degraded ecosystems. It is important to highlight the importance of restoration targets and tools linked to all different forest habitat types. Protect the Forest agrees that today’s efforts to restore ecosystems in the EU are insufficient.
By decreasing harvest rates & protecting older natural forests, carbon will continue to be absorbed & stored in the soil. Emissions from forest harvesting are not fully accounted by the LULUCF Regulation. Instead, harvested wood products (HWP), which include paper products & wood used for energy, are considered as CO2 removals.
Protect the Forest would like to underline the urgent need for strengthened forest-related legislation across the EU and thus welcomes the Commission's proposed Forest Monitoring Framework (FML). The Commission has produced a somewhat strong proposal, which needs further improvement.
Despite some efforts and improvements, biodiversity in the EU continues to decline. We also see downward trends in Sweden: The Forest Agency writes: “Development in the environment is negative”. Many studies give a bleak picture of the state of Europe’s forests. The overwhelming majority of forests in Europe have low to medium ecosystem integrity.

The European Commission is charting the path to making the EU climate-neutral by 2050 and thus recommends a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2040 compared to 1990 levels. We agree that this is a needed minimum, and further underline the scientific proof that this can not be achieved without a fundamental shift within land use in general, and forestry in particular.
The growing European demand of biofuel crops increase the need of agricultural land, converting valuable habitats and displacing other crops, with serious impacts on food security and significant greenhouse gas emissions from land use change as a result.
