The primary aim of the Life+ Return of Rural Wetlands project is to form a foundation for the future programme on the restoration, management and establishment of wetland habitats. This programme will work on a local level in a landowner-oriented way that encourages locals to participate.

The objective of our nationwide demonstration and development project is to create a model wetland that boosts biodiversity in collaboration with locals in every province in Finland, to inspire people to manage the wetland areas in their home districts and to improve the cooperation of interest groups working with wetland-related issues.
