SVT meets the musician Emil Jensen in the nature reserve Segersgärde which is located between Gamleby and Västervik.

Emil has written a new performance about biodiversity and the environment.

On Thursday, the start was where he visited the Visfestivalen in Västervik.

- That is why I chose cycling as a personal manifestation for the climate and peace.

I have previously done a similar cycling tour many years ago, says Emil. 

In the clip above, you can see what Emil usually strengthens himself with before his journey.

The entire bike tour stretches a total of 400 km through Sweden and the beginning of it has been painful.

Although the bike is equipped with a rechargeable battery to help on the road.

- I got so incredibly sore in the left buttock and got a lot to the right of the saddle, but now it feels better, says Emil Jensen. 

Have planted an oak

On Saturday, the second performance will be held at Mundekulla in Långasjö in Emmaboda municipality.

During the next day, the bike ride continues to Ingelstad in Växjö municipality, where the performance will be held at Ingelstad Hembygdsgård.  

The tour is carried out in collaboration with the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and various actions are carried out at the various stops.

An oak tree was planted in Västervik.  

- The joint tree planting will be an exercise in thinking long-term and thinking about what we want to pass on to our children and grandchildren, says Anders Valeskog from the Nature Conservation Association in Tjust to SVT.
