Suojelullisesti

Suojelullisesti is a Finnish adverb meaning “in terms of protection” or “from a conservation perspective.” It is formed from the noun suojelu (protection, conservation) with the adverbial suffix -llisesti, producing a phrase used to indicate that a statement, assessment, or plan is evaluated according to protection objectives rather than other criteria.

The term is mainly used in environmental, cultural heritage, and urban planning discussions, as well as in policy and legal texts. It can introduce or qualify statements by noting that the priority is safeguarding people, ecosystems, or cultural values. Common constructions include suojelullisesti katsottuna, suojelullisesti tärkeä, or suojelullisesti priorisoidaan. In practice, it helps distinguish claims made from a protection-focused perspective from those based on other concerns such as economic efficiency or technical feasibility.

Examples: Suojelullisesti tärkeä luontokohde vaatii lisäsuojelutoimia. Suojelullisesti katsottuna rakennettu kulttuuriympäristö kuuluu valtakunnallisesti tärkeisiin arvoihin.

Related terms: suojelu, suojelullinen (adjective), suojelullisuus (noun). The phrase is relatively formal and more common in written Finnish, public discourse, and academic or administrative contexts. It may be replaced by more explicit phrasing such as “suojelun näkökulmasta” in everyday language.
