Cities around the Baltic Sea can boast about the biodiversity richness and nature heritage in urban nature areas such as parks and other green areas. These “urban biodiversity hotspots” have picturesque landscapes with high bird and plant species diversity. This web portal aims to improve public awareness about urban nature in Helsinki and Tallinn. The web portal was created during the cross border project “NATTOURS - Sustainable urban nature routes using new IT-solutions” (2016-2018) funded by Central Baltic 2014-2020 Programme.
