The report evaluates the state of biodiversity in Tallinn using the Singapore Index, where the city scored 62 out of 100 points. While Tallinn performs well in terms of native species richness and the proportion of natural areas, it lacks a dedicated biodiversity strategy and faces challenges such as habitat fragmentation and a lack of political priority for nature conservation. A survey of city officials highlights a perceived decline in urban forests and natural communities over the last decade. The document concludes with strategic and tactical recommendations, including the creation of a biodiversity action plan, improved integration of nature conservation into urban planning, and the establishment of a biodiversity council.
