Finland and Russia - Wildlife experiences in the green belt of Fennoscandia!

2008-07-18
The green belt is a result of an established cooperation between Finland and Russia in order to preserve nature reserves. Many parts of this green belt consist of unspoilt natural forests and marshes, where bears, wolves, wild forest reindeer and other rare animals still roam undisturbed.

The region’s endangered wildlife also includes the unique freshwater seals found in Finland’s Lake Saimaa and Russia’s Lake Ladoga. It covers a 1,250 km long area along Russia’s frontiers with Finland and Norway, all the way from the Baltic Sea to the Arctic Ocean.

According to Helsinki Times (www.HelsinkiTimes.fi) on Friday, 11 July 2008 in an article, with the title "From iron curtain to green belt", Finland and Russia are working together on a unique nature conservation project that aims to enhance and extend a chain of nature reserves along both sides of their common border.

There are great opportunities for exciting wildlife adventures in the region. Many hikers, nature-lovers and adventure-seekers have already discovered beauty spots on the Finnish side of the border, including Oulanka National Park near Kuusamo and other parks in eastern Finnish Lapland and the Lake District. Outdoor activities that attract tourists from Finland and abroad to the borderlands include white-water rafting, ski-trekking and bear-watching safaris.

One such zone is the former frontier between East and West Germany, and more green belts could be created along other parts of the iron curtain that divided Europe for almost half a century during the bad old days of the cold war.
