| naturrisikoanalyse | natural risk analysis (Analysis of the probability of occurrence, within a specific period of time in a given area, of a potentially damaging phenomenon of nature) | |
| naturrisikoforebygging | natural risks prevention (Precautionary measures, actions or installations implemented to avert the probability of harm to humans, property or natural resources posed by conditions or events in the environment neither initiated nor formed by human activity) | |
| naturskog | indigenous forest (Forests which are native to a given area) | |

| naturvern | nature conservation (Active management of the earth's natural resources and environment to ensure their quality is maintained and that they are wisely used) | |
| naturvern | nature protection (Precautionary actions, procedures or installations undertaken to prevent or reduce harm to the elements of the material world that exist independently of human activity) | |
