Finnish Association for Nature Conservation
Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto · Tampere · Since 1938 · Environment
A member-driven movement running restoration talkoot, environmental education and advocacy for old-growth forests.
Our mission
To protect Finnish nature through local action, education and advocacy.
Our vision
Old-growth forests, clean waters and rich biodiversity for future generations.
Our goals
What we're working towards — and how far we've come.
Rewet drained peatlands
37%100 hectares rewetted by 2027
Why it matters: Drained peatlands release huge amounts of CO₂.
Stop invasive species
64%500 volunteer talkoot per year
Why it matters: Invasive plants push out native flowers and insects.
What your support makes possible
Your time counts too: One summer Saturday clears an area the size of a football pitch of invasive lupine.
Where your money goes
Illustrative demonstration allocation, not an audited report.
Why we need your support
- ●Demand for our services is growing faster than public funding.
- ●New programs need start-up money before they can sustain themselves.
- ●Volunteers need training, tools and coordination.
Donors get more than a receipt: priority access to volunteer roles, project visits and a say in what we build next.
From donation to independence
How we turned past support into lasting change
Donations are an investment in projects that grow their own income — not a lifeline forever.
