Reindeer cannot eat money.
Sámi reindeer herders Sissel Stormo Holtan, Terje Haugen, and Elise Holtan Pavall have spent two decades fighting Europe’s largest wind power project, built across vital Sámi reindeer grazing lands in Norway. Before legal challenges were resolved, 151 turbines were installed. In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court found the wind farm violated Sámi human rights, raising hopes the land would be restored. But the government refused to act, backing powerful energy interests and proposing coexistence. Now the reindeer herders face an impossible choice: accept a €14 million settlement to relocate, or continue a long legal battle.
