Thank you for sharing this amazing species and its background story. What I found especially interesting was your mention of it being one of Finland’s “responsibility species.” Is this an official conservation designation in Finland?
And if so, what makes a species a responsibility species?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all countries had responsibility species, if that means taking especially good care of them?
In Germany, I’ve often heard the Red Kite described as a species for which we carry a particular responsibility, since Germany is considered the global stronghold of the species and holds around half of the world’s breeding population.
Thanks for sharing this Anna! I'm halfway across the world from you, but have been walking many different boggy areas this week & enjoying the sphagnum moss in Minnesota. What a wonder 💚
