Our mission

To stop the degradation of nature and build a future where people live in harmony with it.

Our vision

A Finland with thriving forests, a clean Baltic Sea and recovering wildlife populations.

Our goals

What we're working towards โ€” and how far we've come.

Save the Saimaa seal

71%

Grow population to 700 by 2030

Why it matters: Only ~500 remain โ€” one of the world's rarest seals.

Restore wetlands

60%

20,000 hectares restored by 2030

Why it matters: Healthy wetlands store carbon and filter water into the Baltic.

Cleaner Baltic shores

48%

100 tonnes of litter removed by 2027

Why it matters: Plastic harms fish, birds and seals along Finnish coasts.

What your support makes possible

Your time counts too: One weekend camp helps restore a whole stream for spawning trout.

Illustrative demonstration allocation, not an audited report.

Why we need your support

  • โ—Seal nest building only works in a few winter weeks โ€” funding must arrive in time.
  • โ—Restoration machines and expert time are costly.
  • โ—Long-term monitoring rarely gets grants.

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 โ€” not a lifeline forever.
