PM-6. Rilankorpi, Orivesi

Finding: presence of threatened species ignored.

Thinning of 2-3 hectares of ornithologically valuable old spruce forest in the spring of 2000. The logging affected the living conditions of the regionally threatened three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus) and goshawk (Accipiter gentilis); a bird expert predicts the future nesting success of the species very uncertain. Ornithologists contacted the land-owner, the logger and the forestry authorities prior to the logging with no success.
