Suojelun tuki (support for conservation)

Suojelun tuki, or support for conservation, is a financial program aimed at helping landowners protect and preserve natural habitats, biodiversity, and cultural landscapes. It provides monetary assistance to encourage sustainable management practices that benefit the environment. The support often involves maintaining traditional land uses, such as grazing or forestry, that help sustain ecological balance. By offering these subsidies, the program promotes long-term conservation efforts, ensuring ecosystems remain healthy and resilient for future generations, while also supporting the livelihoods of those who manage the land.
