Metsäliike continues to demand Metsähallit to stop logging in the Aalistunturi area. According to Metsälikuen, the fellings are eroding the foundation of the national park presentation.
Today, Thursday, Metsäliike is organizing a demonstration in Helsinki in front of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The demonstration has started at 11:30 and will last until 13:00.
The protesters demanded Metsähallitut to stop logging in the Aalistunturi area. According to Metsälikuen, the fellings fragment the area’s nature and erode the foundation of the national park’s presentation.
The movement also demands the state to protect more forests and reduce logging.
Metsäliike demonstrated on Tuesday in Rovaniemi.
