On the status, trends, and mitigation measures of species in Estonia.
The good condition of Estonian soils has been preserved primarily due to limited land take by artificial surfaces, a short growing season, and the widespread use of sustainable farming practices.
Megatrends are extensive and slowly evolving changes that, once established, have a profound and long-term impact on various human activities, processes, and perceptions. They are already observable today and significantly shape the future of many people, countries, regions, and, to some extent, the entire world.
Forest land covers approximately half of Estonia's land area, and its area changes have been small in recent decades.
The production and use of renewable energy are important goals in reducing environmental pollution.
Overview of the state of Estonia’s ecosystems, pressure factors, and mitigation measures.
In Estonia, the concentrations of most air pollutants are among the lowest in Europe, and our air quality is comparable to that of the Nordic countries.
