I'm working currently with Finnish Forest and Park Service. Our aim is
to find old forest with high nature values, biodiversity, rottening wood etc.

Now I'm interested in using satellite pictures to get a picture of whole 
Finland. Ofcourse we use aerialphotos also, but in some areas they are
taken several yaers ago, and logging rate is high on these forests.

Finnish sources have Landsat 4 and 5 pictures, but they have not bought
very many tapes and have new pictures only from some areas. Now I turn to You
to ask Your help. Do you know sources of new satellite pictures? 
Ofcourse Nasa could sell them, but where do I get their fax-number or adress?
If you have phonecatalogue which has it, could you check for it? My idea is to
buy only papercopies of pictures to save money, not whole data.

Thankyou verymuch for your time!
