  • Winter Taiga forest in - 40°C, FINLAND/RIISITUNTURI NATIONAL PARK, LAPLAND.The great northern boreal forest - the so-called Taiga, a Russian word - stretches all the way from far-eastern Russia, down through Scandinavia and to the Baltic countries of Estonia and Latvia, and into Belarus and northern Ukraine. Natural forests store significantly more carbon than managed ones, so for climate reasons we should keep as much unmanaged forest as possible. Unmanaged forests are also much more rich in biodiversity. This is another example of how tightly climate change is connected with biodiversity. Forests also absorb a lot more water than cleared lands, thereby helping to prevent flood disasters and landslides.Riisitunturi National Park covers 77 Sq km and is one of more than 25,000 protected sites under the EU Natura 2000 umbrella and also included in the Pan-European so-called Emerald Network.
