Norway’s Sami reindeer herders face an uncertain future, with the prospect of a changing climate and increasing development due to oil resources in the Arctic. Lauren Day and Sophie Tarr report on how a way of life is changing for the Sami people.
GEJI reporters and UTS Journalism students Lauren Day and Sophie Tarr produced this report while on exchange at the University of Helsinki Swedish School of Social Sciences and Sami College.
Great report,worrying story.
I’ve also talked to the Inupiat in Alaska and Greenlanders about how climate change is endangering their traditional lifestyles. Things are changing so fast in the Arctic it is almost impossible for them to adapt fast enough.
Thanks for drawing attention to this.
