- Sveaskog intends to log 1000 football fields of forests, devastating to the climate and a death sentence for our community, says Lars Anders Baer, chairman of the Sámi reindeer herding district Luokta-Mávas.
It is important to realize that deforestation in general, not just in the Amazon, is hurting our environment. Government-owned Sveaskog, plans huge loggings in the forests in Luokta-Mávas Sámi district, in the north of Sweden. This threatens indigenous land, people and biodiversity in the area. We can not solve the climate crisis unless we start to prioritize nature! We need strong regulations that protects against actions like the ones Sveaskog plans.
Right now Sveaskog have put their plans on hold after massive protests from environmental and indigenous groups, stating they want a dialogue. Lets continue to put pressure against Sveaskogs deforestation plans!
