As a result of the destruction of woodcocks in Suomusjärvi, several individuals have been charged, and nearly two million euros in damages have been claimed from the state. The case relates to a significant environmental crime that has affected woodcock habitats. Stora Enso has responded to the situation by changing its practices and suspending logging in sites containing sensitive natural areas. The company's CEO has stated that the company is prepared to take responsibility and pay the costs caused by the environmental damage. Meanwhile, extensive woodcock transfers have been carried out in areas such as Hukkajoki, with thousands of individuals already moved to safety. Metsähallitus and experts are monitoring the situation closely, as it could be an environmental crime in the millions. The situation has sparked widespread debate regarding biodiversity protection and the responsibility of the forestry industry in Finland.
