Finland has submitted its latest official report to the European Commission showing a continued deterioration in the state of natural #habitats and #species.
According to the Finnish Environment Institute, most #habitat types remain in an unfavourable condition, particularly across southern and central regions.
The findings are part of Finland’s mandatory reporting under the EU’s #nature and #bird directives, covering the period 2019–2024.
The data show that more species and habitat types are deteriorating than improving, despite 30 years of legal obligations to protect #biodiversity.
The situation is most critical in the boreal zone, which covers the majority of #Finland.
There, three out of four habitat types assessed are considered to be in poor condition.
Only the alpine zone in the far north shows better outcomes, largely due to reduced human impact.
