Answer the survey on biodiversity in Tampere
The City of Tampere's aim is to take care of biodiversity in people's neighbourhoods and nature reserves – in other words, in the whole city.
Biodiversity means the diversity of living nature, which includes the diversity of ecosystems, species diversity and genetic variation within species. Human activities are rapidly degrading biodiversity.
The City of Tampere works for biodiversity. Next year, we will update the 2020–2022 plan to prevent biodiversity loss.
Answer online
Contribute to the new plan by completing the survey below. The results of the survey will not only inform our biodiversity work in Tampere, but also when we assess whether the forest management approach needs to be updated.
It will take about 10–15 minutes to complete the survey. The survey can be answered in Finnish or English by anyone living in or visiting Tampere. Answering the survey is anonymous and your answers cannot be linked to you personally.
The survey includes a section where you can mark on a map the places where you have noticed changes in biodiversity. The map survey works better on a larger screen, but you can also use a smartphone.
Urban meadows, restoring valuable nature sites, what else?
In the previous 2020 survey the responses highlighted necessary changes that we were able to include in the Biodiversity (LUMO) programme. For example, the city's green areas and parks have been diversified, valuable nature sites have been restored, urban meadows have been cultivated and green spaces are increasingly managed by following the principle of controlled unmanagement.
The current measures and their status can be viewed in the Environment Guard service (LUMO-vahti). The survey and the update of the biodiversity programme are carried out by the Climate and Environmental Policy Unit of the City of Tampere.
