Suojeltavina

Suojeltavina is a Finnish term that translates to "to be protected" or "under protection." It is most commonly used in legal and environmental contexts in Finland to denote that a certain area, species, or object has been officially designated for preservation due to its ecological, historical, cultural, or natural significance.

When an area is designated as suojeltavina, it typically means that human activities within that area are restricted or prohibited to ensure its preservation. This can include measures such as limiting construction, restricting land use, or prohibiting certain types of resource extraction. The goal is to maintain the natural state, biodiversity, or cultural heritage of the protected entity.

Similarly, species can be classified as suojeltavina, indicating that they are endangered or vulnerable and require special protection. This might involve measures to prevent hunting, habitat destruction, or other threats to their survival. Cultural heritage sites, such as historical buildings or archaeological finds, can also be declared suojeltavina to prevent damage or alteration and to preserve them for future generations.

The designation of something as suojeltavina is usually a formal process undertaken by governmental authorities or designated organizations, often based on scientific assessments or cultural evaluations. The specific regulations and management plans for suojeltavina areas or entities vary depending on the type of protection and the legislation in place.
