Helsingin kaupungin luontotietojärjestelmä (in Finnish)

Luontotietojärjestelmän keskeisimpiä luontoaineistoja ovat luonnonsuojelukohteet, arvokkaat kasvisto- ja kasvillisuuskohteet, linnustollisesti arvokkaat kohteet, arvokkaat geologiset kohteet, tärkeät lepakkoalueet, kääpäkohteet ja arvokkaat metsäluonnon monimuotoisuuskohteet.

Käyttäjä voi tarkastella valitsemiaan aineistoja erilaisten karttapohjien tai ilmakuvan päällä. Kohderaportissa kerrotaan kohteeseen liittyviä tietoja ja lajihavaintoja. Hakutoiminnon avulla voi etsiä esimerkiksi tietyn lajin havaintotietoja.
