Saima nerpa

Scientists have found 63 baleka Saima nerpa

This year's calculations have become more complicated due to thin ice.

Since the beginning of spring, sixty-three squirrels of the Saimaa seal were found on Lake Saimaa, according to the Forest Department.

One of the cubs was found dead.

This year's calculations have become more complicated due to thin ice.

The number of seal belts will be determined back in May when calculating nesting sites. Last year, President Sauli Niinisto himself took part in the recount of the seals.

Earlier it was reported that Finnish scientists will share with Russian colleagues their experience in preserving the population of rare ringed seals. In April, a three-year joint project began, the goal of which is to develop scientific work on the protection of seals on the Ladoga and Saimensky lakes.

Also this winter it became known that on Saimaa artificial floating nests will be constructed for seals. The goal of the action is to help the seals to survive in conditions of global climate warming.

Saimaa nerpa is protected by the state. Its population, according to various estimates, has about 400 individuals.
