Sukerijärvi Strict Nature Reserve

Sukerijärvi Strict Nature Reserve (Sukerijärven luonnonpuisto) is a strict nature reserve located in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland. This reserve resembles parts of Oulanka National Park, which has popular backpacking trails. There is no public access. Recreational activities, including tourism, are not allowed to preserve its pristine natural state. ^[1] The reserve is part of the Natura 2000 network, safeguarding old-growth forests, wetlands, and rare species. It primarily serves as a research site for conservation and ecology, offering valuable insights into Finland's natural heritage.

While Oulanka National Park attracts eco-tourists, Sukerijärvi remains untouched, ensuring a balance between conservation and sustainable tourism in the region.
