Seven Steps to Save the Ocean – Environmental art in the Wildlife Park from 24th June Ranua Wildlife Park will get a new year-round attraction June 24th 2018, when the opening of Seven Steps to save the Ocean is celebrated. Seven Steps to Save the Ocean, by artist / architect Maija Kovari, is an interactive artwork encouraging the audience to do small everyday acts to fight climate change. The work is located in the middle of the park on a tor that used to be an ancient sea shore, thousands of years ago. The audience can walk through the artwork along a wooden walking bridge. Seven Steps to Save the Ocean changes with the seasons. It is a different experience in the summer and in the winter when the snow covers the ground. Trained both as an architect and visual artist, Maija Kovari works in the fields of urban planning and contemporary art. As an architect she concentrates in planning and urban design. The guiding light of Seven Steps to Save the Ocean is the thought of choice.

Moose The moose is one of the largest species in all of Northern Europe and Asia. Moose can be found throughout Finland, except the bare mountaintops in the mountain regions above the tree line in the northernmost parts of Lapland. Moose thrive where nutrition is abundant, and they can migrate long distances between summer and winter pastures, even up to 100 km. In the summer, moose prefer regions with mostly broad-leaved trees, preferably close to wetlands and waters. In summertime the moose feeds on about 200 different types of plants consisting of grass vegetation, leaves of trees and bushes and sprouts as well as water plants. In the winter the moose feeds mostly on twigs and brushwood and branches of trees. Forests with pine sapling stands and broad-leaved tree copses can collect herds of several moose, to spend their winter.
