Map of Aitatsivaara logging in Tuntsa area, Salla 1998-2000

The adjancent map is based on a forestry map from the Forest and Park Service.

White area is forest land, horizontal lining peatland. Other lined areas are nearly treeless fjells and such.

modern Scandinavian final felling
seed tree logging

Not all the logging 1998-2000 are marked on the map due to inadequate data. However, the map is indicative. It is obvious how the logging fragments the vast forest areas.
