Helsinki Nature Information System
Description
With the Nature Information System, you can get to know the diverse nature of Helsinki. The most important natural resources of the system are nature conservation sites, valuable flora and fauna sites, important bird areas, important bat areas, polypore sites and small water sites.
The data is available for download in several formats, including JSON, KML, CSV, Esri Shape, and XML. Available formats can always be found under OutputFormat in the [GetCapabilities query](https://kartta.hel.fi/ws/geoserver/avoindata/wfs?request=GetCapabilities) for the service. More information and instructions on using the WFS API can be found in the [guide](https://kartta.hel.fi/avoindata/dokumentit/Prosessi_Tyoohje_kyselypalvelut_kaytto_ulkoverkko.pdf) (in Finnish).
The data published as open data in Helsinki’s nature information system consists of the following WFS interface levels, which are grouped into protected feature/ features to be protected, valuable nature features, water system data and other nature data. The data is in a form that can be opened with several geographic data programs.
