Game Management Trust Finland
WHO ARE WE?
Hunters and landowners together are doing the most important hands-on work for the conservation of biodiversity in Finland.
Well planned and systematic game habitat management benefits extensively also other elements of natural biodiversity. By promoting this work the Nature and Game Management Trust Finland aims to improve the public comprehension on the role of hunting and game management in biodiversity conservation.
Active nature management on land under economic use
A majority of the Finnish land area is privately owned, and under economically viable agricultural and silvicultural use. Active and premeditated habitat management on this land complements the traditional passive put-aside preservation of nature in State parks and conservation areas. This combination of active management and passive preservation guarantees the modern-day conservation of Finnish biodiversity in the best possible way.
Co-operation with various stakeholders
We cooperate with various stakeholders responsible of utilisation of renewable natural resources, and we also provide education on game habitat management. By using our effective contacts to decision makers at the highest level we aim to have a long term positive impact on nature in Finland.
The Nature and Game Management Trust Finland relies on private fundraising, and for specific purposes it has also received public funding.
