16.1.2025 | The Ministry of the Environment requests comments on the draft decree of the Ministry of the Environment that would lay down provision on the monetary values of animals and plants protected under the Nature Conservation Act. The updates would lead to significant changes in the value of certain animal species. The value of freshwater pearl mussel, for example, would increase 2.5-fold. This would be the first time that values would be set for plant species as well.https://valtioneuvosto.fi/en/-/1410903/ministry-of-the-environment-requests-comments-on-the-decree-concerning-guideline-values-of-protected-animals-and-plants
