We here at Luomus have enjoyed a busy, diverse, and successful year. We had several new projects funded by the Academy of Finland, various foundations, and the EU programme Horizon 2020; we reopened the restructured Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden; and we hosted the Governing Board meeting of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

We are most grateful to all our partners for fruitful collaboration and to all the more than 200,000 friends of nature who have visited the Natural History Museum and our Botanic Gardens during the year. We wish you all…
