Our work at @digigeolab using #BigData in #NatureRecreation and #Conservation research is quite extensive, and we have collaborated with #Metsähallitus on this research extensively over the last ten years.

We decided to turn our findings and understanding into policy recommendations on using such data to get useful information (only in Finnish). Please check it out here: https://helda.helsinki.fi/server/api/core/bitstreams/f8f62c15-8ed1-4844-917e-6091675e32a4/content

@bmp @digigeolab I have to ask if there is some hidden English version, but all our research is open access, so if you are very keen you can probably find relevant articles: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/digital-geography-lab/publications
