The results of the evaluation of the Finnish National Biodiversity Action Plan 1997-2005 indicate clear changes towards better consideration of biodiversity in the routines and policies of many sectors of the administration and economy.

Biodiversity research has expanded significantly and the knowledge of Finland´s biological diversity has increased.
