The working group calls upon Metsähallitus to manage and restore natural habitats in current and new protected areas, where such measures will clearly improve the prospects for the conservation of biodiversity. The working group aims that a total of 96,000-190 000 ha of areas voluntarily offered by landowners shall be established as private nature reserves or acquired by the State by 2016. The working group aims that Metsähallitus’s Natural Heritage Services and Forestry shall jointly draft proposals for the extension of protected areas of significance for biodiversity in State-owned lands by a total area of 10 000 ha over the period 2008-2010, in connection with natural resource planning processes. |
