    EUROPEAN LANDSCAPE CONVENTION LANDSCAPE AWARD OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE 7th Session – 2020-2021 APPLICATION FORM Council of Europe – European Landscape Convention Presentation The European Landscape Convention aims to promote the protection, management and planning of landscapes and to bring together European co-operation in this field. It is the first international treaty exclusively devoted to all dimensions of European landscape. Taking into account the landscape, natural and cultural values of the territory, it contributes to promoting the quality of life and well-being of Europeans. The Resolution on the Rules governing the Landscape Award of the Council of Europe, adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 20 February 2008 at the 1018th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies, draws attention to the fact that Article 11 of the Convention institutes the Landscape Award of the Council of Europe and that it is in keeping with the work carried out by the Council of Europe concerning human rights, democracy and sustainable development. It effectively promotes the territorial dimension of human rights and democracy by acknowledging the importance of measures taken to improve the landscape for people’s living conditions. Opened to the Parties to the Convention, the Award is intended to raise civil society’s awareness of the value of landscapes, of their role and of changes to them. Its objective is to reward exemplary practical initiatives aimed at successful landscape quality objectives on the territories of the Parties to the Convention. The Award is conferred every two years and the files presenting applications must reach the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe.

  • Answers to the Comments by Reviewer RC2
    Answers to the comments by reviewer RC2: General comments: 1) My main issue with this manuscript has to do with its readability. There are numerous grammatical errors throughout, some of which are pointed out below. A native English speaker should edit the paper before resubmission. This is now done. The authors are grateful for the thorough review also concerning the language. 2) The authors tend to make some broad sweeping conclusions based on trends that are only significant across a small fraction of the total study region. I would like to see more discussion of the full picture (like Figure 9). Pg 10 L2 and Pg11 L5 are two instances where the discussion is too narrow in focus. The authors have now extended the mentioned discussions (sections 3.1.1, 3.1.3 and 3.3.) as requested. The systematic signal of change is not as dramatic in Finland as in some areas, because of the large variation of winter weather. Especially the sea ice extent of Baltic Sea affects largely the Finnish winter weather. If the Gulf of Finland and Gulf of Bothnia freeze completely the Finnish climate is almost continental in winter even on the coast. We added a comment about the hemispherical study published recently, where we studied the effect of weather parameters on the observed changes in larger areas. Section 3.1.1 main addition: Especially variable melt onset timing is in the coastal regions (Southwestern Finland and Southern Ostrobothnia) and in the Lake district. For those regions the standard deviation values of the melt onset day are 14.3, 14.7 and 14.6, respectively.

  • Answers to the Comments by Reviewer RC1: This Is an Interesting
    Answers to the comments by reviewer RC1: This is an interesting and thorough study, but some of the methods are hard to follow. In particular, I recommend some effort on simplifying and clarifying the descriptions of sigmoid fits in sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2; figures of example fits might help. The authors are grateful for the encouraging comment. The sigmoid fitting is described now in more detail and related images are included. The method sounds complicated, because one has to take into account also rare, but possible complications (such as marked snowfall after melt onset). However, the main complication really to take into account is the greening up of vegetation. This is demonstrated in the added Figure 2, where we also now include examples of temporary pits before melt onset and temporary peaks after snow melt. Minor comments: page 1, line 26. Forest cover having a significant influence on albedo does not follow from it being an important component of the carbon budget. This sentence is now edited according to the comment. page 2, line 11. “by in” – delete one “in” is deleted as requested. page 2, line 24 “since 200” is sufficient “Year” is removed as suggested. page 3, line 3 I think that standalone forcing of land models with climate model outputs is being dis- cussed here, but it is not clear. The text is edited (page 3, line 6). page 4, line 6 Delete “only” “Only” is deleted as requested. page 5, line 21 “using in-situ FSC observations” Is FSC %-units simply %? Yes, the FSC units is %.

    Aapa Mire Wilderness Life - Protection of Finland’s to protect species southernmost aapa mire wilderness areas in Northern Ostrobothnia and Kainuu to protect peatland ecology Final report 2005 for people in Europe LIFE Nature project supported by the European Union Photo: Jorma Luhta Photo: CONTENTS Background to the Aapa Mire Wilderness LIFE project 3 Management and land use plans 5 Habitat restoration 6 Information materials 7 Local recreational use and nature-based tourism 8 Photo: Pekka Sillanpää Pekka Photo: BACKGROUND TO THE AAPA MIRE WILDERNESS LIFE PROJECT The Natura 2000 nature conservation programme aims to preserve European natural habitats by protecting typical species and biotopes in each area of the continent. Finland has a special responsibility in the conservation of peatland biotopes, as no other European country has such extensive and varied peatlands as Finland. The Natura 2000 areas in Litokaira, Olvassuo and Iso Tilansuo-Housusuo, located in the municipalities of Ranua, Pudasjärvi, Puolanka and Utajärvi in northern Finland, are extensive, ecologically significant mire wilderness areas. A common denominator to all of them is a mosaic-like variation of peatland and forest. Typical features of these areas include treeless aapa mires and old-growth forests. These provide ideal living conditions for many endangered animal and plant species. The area has particularly high significance for the conservation of birds. The Natura areas also have great recreational importance. These areas have always had an important role in providing local inhabitants with enjoyment. However, until now no facilities have been set up to serve local recreational purposes or nature-based tourism, a fact that has caused erosion and littering in some areas and, on the other hand, prevented the creation of sustainable nature-based tourism.

  • 2007 Background Main Results at the Oulujoki River
    RESTORING SALMON INTO OULURIVER Main results of the project OuLo, 2006 - 2007 Background The idea of restoring migratory fish upstream of the dams in the River Oulujoki has been raised since the successful completion of the Merikoski fishway at the river mouth in 2003. Preconditions for salmon migration and reproduction in this former salmon river have been surveyed in the project "Restoring salmon runs into Oulu and Lososinka Rivers", OuLo. The main target area has been the River Oulujoki but studies have also been made in the River Lososinka which runs through the city of Petrozavodsk into the Lake Onego in Russian Carelia. Salmon passage has been blocked in this small river for a long time period. The main aim was to survey the preconditions and possible means of restoring migratory fish runs into these two former salmon rivers. Another main aim was to create close co-operation between Finnish and Russian experts, research institutes and authorities and to develop forms for action in realizing large projects in the different planning cultures of the two countries involved. The project got financial funding from Euregio Carelia Neighbourhood Program. Other funding was provided by the Council of Oulu Region, the Federation of Municipalities and Province of Kainuu, Fortum Power and Heat corp., the municipalities of Muhos, Utajärvi, Vaala and Paltamo and the City of Oulu. The project was part Oulu-Kajaani Regional Development Zone. The project was co- ordinated by North Ostrobothnia Regional Environment Centre. The Finnish partners were Game and Fisheries Research Institute, University of Oulu, Finnish Environment Institute and Kainuu Regional Environment Centre.
