Finland - iNaturalist World Tour
Finland is the 58th stop on the iNaturalist World Tour! The top three observers @juhakinnunen, @pihlaviita and @juhatuomola are all based near the capital of Helsinki - although @juhakinnunen's centroid is pulled north from many observations along the coast off the Gulf of Bothnia. Other top observers such as @kaiuosma are based out of Turku to the west. But most other top observers (e.g. @rorippa, @marsusram, @dominik_melisa, @tuomovirtanen, @mikkohei13, @jomku) have observations clustered near Helsinki. @mikkohei13 works out of the Finnish Museum of Natural History which is in Helsinki. Check out @tuomovirtanen's other nature photographs here.
The number of observations per month has been growing rapidly in Finland this year. This growth mirrors whats happening in Russia. @dschigel has done recent outreach in both Finland and Russia which is likely contributing to this growth.
@juhatuomola is the top identifier and also leads in plants. @juhakinnunen and @pihlaviita are also simultaneous top observers and top identifiers in Finland. Its worth noting that @juhakinnunen and @pihlaviita are also in the top 100 identifiers across all of iNaturalist. @almantas, @ldacosta, and @borisb are top identifiers from elsewhere in Europe and lead in bird (@ldacosta) and insect (@borisb) identifications. Thanks to all the other Finland top identifiers!
What can we do to get more people using iNaturalist in Finland? Please share your thoughts below or on this forum thread

Finland is one of the strongest (per capita) countires of biodiversity observers and nature respecting people. There is a number of general and thematic citizen science initiative, complemented by iNaturalist.
I wish I knew about iNat when I spent 6 months in Finland in 2010. So many lichens -ha. And other nature too.
And @juhakinnunen has been helping us with identification of Moths in India too. Thank you so much.
As Dmitry (@dschigel) already said, there are several citizen science projects going on in Finland at the moment. That is of course great. I personally like the international community supporting my journey here; I learn something new everyday. It has taken some time to find the people whom to tag but now it is so much fun! In some fields the community is really large (e.g. birds, SE Asian moths), and in some fields almost non-existing but people find the goodies slowly...
And Vijay (@vijaybarve), India is waking up now with iNat. I want to be supporting that as much as I can. New people joining everyday!
