Citizen science
By participating in citizen science projects, you help to gather information and learn new things about nature in Finland. Here you can take part into projects organized by different research groups and institutions. All observations are saved to Laji.fi into your own Notebook account.

Bird monitoring
Complete checklists
Complete checklists are used to assess the complete observed fauna. Data is collected from both the species an observer saw, as well as those that they did not record. Observations are saved to My Notebook. Complete checklists can also be filled through Mobiilivihko for easy field recording.
Research projects and tools for public authorities
Participating to research projects needs more experience than the citizen science projects. Some of the projects are only accessible for a smaller group of users.
