History and profile
[edit]Suomen Luonto was established in 1941.[1] It is published by Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto (The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation).[6][5] It was first published as a yearbook, but in 1956 it changed to a magazine published four times a year. In the 1960s, environmental topics began to be included, and they were sometimes addressed in such a heated tone that, for example, forest professionals left the union. In 1971, the magazine became a subscription magazine, and was no longer part of the association's membership fee.
By 2022 Suomen Luonno had 155,000 readers according to the National Media Research[7] and its total reach, including digital, amounted to 193,000 people. The magazine's social media channels had a total of over 200,000 followers.
Suomen Luonto won the Quality Magazine of the Year award in 2011.[8] Suomen Luonno's articles have been awarded in Aikakausmedia's Edit competition for several years[6].[9] In 2020, the magazine had received, for example, the photo reportage award of the year, and the lifestyle story award of the year in 2017..
Since 2000, Lehti has organized the annual Vanity of the Year competition.
