Welcome and thank you for being here. We are a small group of people in the Hitis - Rosala archipelago, who are trying to save some natural forest environment on our home islands. Vi want to work for biodiversity on the islands, forest left in their natural state and for how humans could be in nature without harming it. There are very few primal forests left on the islands, after an aggressive forest harvesting program the natural forests can now be counted on one hand. We want to work for more forest to be left in natural state. We will do this by informing forest owners, about how they can protect their forest for compensation. We also want to spread information about nature's positive impact on human health. About how man is a part of nature, and what happens to us when we get to be near untouched forests, moss, archipelago cliffs and water. We hope this will be an opportunity for everyone in the future as well.
