Finland to receive CHL achievement award
The number of endangered species is on the up in Finland. The Ministry of the Environment's suggestion for the new nature conservation act includes a list of 1,410 endangered species. The current number is 1,300.
According to the proposal, the number of species in need of special protection should grow from 485 to 608. Among the species now considered endangered are Temminck's stint (Calidris temminckii) from the sandpiper family, and the controversial barred warbler (Sylvia nisoria) that came to public attention over the Vuosaari Harbour construction project.
According to Hannu Karjalainen from the Ministry of the Environment, the increase in the number of species in need of protection speaks of regression.
"In general, one could say that the diversity of the Finnish natural environment is being compromised", Karjalainen says.
Karjalainen will be receiving the prestigious Award for Achievement in Homogenization in a ceremony at the CHL's Helsinki offices next week.
