Jooseppitunturi, Savukoski Suksennulkki, gallery 2 Before the logging (2004) and after the clearcut (2006) |
Old-growth forests of Jooseppitunturi hosted over 180 occurrences of red-listed species. Clearcutting in area started in November of 2006. In January 2007 a Metsähallitus truck carrying old-growth forest wood from the logging sites was followed to Stora Enso pulp mill in Kemijärvi. Pulp from Kemijärvi is used in Stora Enso´s Veitsiluoto paper mill, where the old-growth forest is processed into magazine papers, envelopes and copy paper. Learn more about Stora Enso´s old-growth forest destruction brands: Nova Press printing papers, Nova Press Silk magazine papers, Berga copy papers. Intact Forest Landscape. Eastern part of Jooseppitunturi area is included in the Intact Forest Landscape- maps published by Greenpeace in 2006. Also these parts of the area are threatened by the logging.
