Metsänhoidollisia toimenpiteitä = Forest Management and Environmental Change in Finland - Signed
137: Hiilinielu, 2009. 1st Edition. Softcover. Finnish photographer Ritva Kovalainen and author Sanni Seppo offer a fresh and thought-provoking look at Finland’s forestry industry in Metsänhoidollisia toimenpiteitä. While Finnish forests are often celebrated for their economic success, this book highlights the human and environmental cost of intensive forest management.
Filled with stunning photographs by Kovalainen, it captures forests reshaped by roads and logging, revealing how industrial practices have transformed natural landscapes. Kovalainen and Seppo, acclaimed for their award-winning exploration of Finnish forest mythology in Puiden kansa (1997), continue the story of Finland’s forests into the present day.
The book explores how 50 years of intensive forestry have fragmented ancient forests and changed the way people experience nature. Poetic place names like "Kelokkoaho" and "Sammalharju" hint at the past, while today’s landscapes reflect the stark realities of clear-cutting, monocultures, and chemical interventions
