	Appeal for the forests of Southern Finland - www.metsavetoomus.fi
		We the undersigned require that by 2010 Finland raise the amount of protected forest in South Finland, as well as that of poorly protected parts of the country's northernmost regions Oulu and Lapland, to five per cent, and in the longer term to ten per cent, of the country's forested land.
		Finland's forests and forest landscapes have been impoverished by intensive commercial forestry to a degree that has affected every Finn's experience of the natural world.
		Around 1500 km2 of forest is clearcut annually in Finland; this needs to be balanced by increased protection, as well as more widespread use of environmentally benign forestry methods in commercial stands.
