The Green Warriors of Norway supports the Sami's actions against the government's handling of the Fosen case and also holds the owner companies responsible
On 11 October 2021, Norway's Supreme Court unanimously found the decisions on the concession and expropriation permit for the wind power plants Roan and Storheia on Fosen to be invalid. The case concerned the question of whether the development of the Storheia and Roan wind power plants on Fosen infringes the right of the reindeer herding Sami to exercise culture according to the UN Convention on Civil and Political Rights (SP) article 27. The Supreme Court in grand chamber […]

"More of everything - faster" is the most terrifying consultation headline ever.!!
Not only is what is happening now a major threat to what we have left of nature, the environment and local communities, but the government's proposal will also weaken democracy's right to object to developments we neither want nor need. Should "More of everything - faster" become the total resignation for our country as an independent […]

The Green Warriors of Norway is negative about opening up the extraction of seabed minerals and is asking Norway for an international ban
Extraction of minerals on the seabed has major implications and unforeseen environmental consequences. At the same time, it is a signal of a worldwide consumption that is out of control and where one will now use the absolute last redoubt in our hunt for the earth's last resources. Most of the world's ocean areas are still uncharted, and the risk of irreparable […]

Green Warriors of Norway will prohibit ski sailing/kiting near winter pastures, calving areas and migration routes in all our 23 wild reindeer areas
The Norwegian Environmental Protection Association today sent demands to the Ministry of Climate and the Environment for a ban on ski sailing/kiting near winter pastures, calving areas and migration routes in all our 23 wild reindeer areas. If the wild reindeer is to survive as a species, the serious situation the wild reindeer finds itself in must be taken very seriously. The administrative authorities and all affected municipalities must ensure that the wild reindeer have the necessary "untouched" […]

Farm windmills in one of Norway's most important wetland and bird areas..?
In the series of which wind power plans are the very worst, surely this one must take the absolute prize? It is admittedly not easy to say which wind farm is the worst these days. Here, one project worse than the other comes up on the table, and we have already seen a number of horrible projects get beaten […]

The Green Warriors of Norway's consultation response offshore wind Southern North Sea II and Utsira Nord
The government has advanced and disregarded all input and consequences in the process to develop offshore wind at Utsira Nord and Sørlige Nordsjø II. Namely, they must hand out licenses and subsidies before the areas are to be examined for licenses at all. This is definitely not an acceptable procedure in a democratic society. There are so many negative […]

Wild reindeer: An environmental victory and a new review
Lately it has been stormy around the wild reindeer on Hardangervidda. There has been great pressure from all sides at the same time. Here we have everything from the ski center in the middle of the reindeer area in Eidsfjord, to a gondola lift up to the Rossnos plateau in Odda. All of these are territorial conflicts that are eating up more and more of the wild reindeer's last habitats. And the whole time […]

Warns actions against state winter hunting for wild reindeer with helicopters and snowmobiles!
Let the already stressed and weak animals get the rest they need to get through the winter in the best possible condition. The wild reindeer must be managed on nature's terms and an ecological balance must therefore be recreated. The "revolver management" must end! Norway has an international responsibility to take care of the wild reindeer. We do this very poorly by [...]

Sigh of hearts from the Green Warriors of Norway!
By: Ruben Oddekalv Today, November 15, we are eight billion people on earth……. We at the Environmental Protection Association see little reason to celebrate. Overconsumption and overpopulation are the cause of almost all of our climate and environmental problems. _______ The UN Population Fund has calculated that the world will pass 8 billion inhabitants on 15 November. The population has thus doubled since 1974 [...]

The reindeer on Hardangervidda are threatened by the gondola lift
The Norwegian Environmental Protection Association (NMF) demands a complete halt to the plans from Hardanger Skylift to build a gondola lift from Odda up on the Rossnos plateau. This will open a hitherto very inaccessible and important part of the wild reindeer's Hardangervidda area to traffic and will therefore displace the wild reindeer from yet another important part of its habitat. NMF delivered yesterday [...]
