Protecting our nature is crucial
MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF BIODIVERSITY IN FINLAND
IS OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE
Hunters and landowners together are doing the most important hands-on work
for the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity in Finland.
ACTIVITIES
Archipelago project
The project monitors the state of the Baltic Sea and the nature in the archipelago, mainly by monitoring the population development and well-being of archipelago birds, especially eiders.
Natural Pastures project
Natural pastures promote biodiversity, starting with soil micro-organisms, insects and plants, creating valuable feeding and habitats for many mammals and birds.
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.
Publications
We have published various publications as well as reports and guidelines. You can find them on our website in Finnish.
