Luomus has experienced a year full of events – for better or for worse. The government’s austerity policy hit Luomus hard, but many positive things also took place: we hosted an international congress on lichenology, the development of the Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility (Laji.fi) progressed swiftly, the exhibition Change in the Air attracted plenty of visitors, and the Finnish Bird Ringing Atlas was awarded a state prize.

We are grateful for the support we received in times of hardship and thank our partners for fruitful collaboration.
