The reindeer herders fighting a mine - BBC World Service

In Sweden’s far north, indigenous Sami people who say their traditional culture and way of life is being threatened by the country’s drive to develop carbon-cutting industries. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM In the Arctic town of Jokkmokk, a controversial new iron-ore mine has been given conditional approval in a reindeer herding area. Supporters of the project argue it is needed to extract materials to build a new green infrastructure in Sweden, and to create new jobs in an area desperate for regeneration. But the mine is opposed by Sami including artist and music producer Maxida Märak, as well as human rights groups and environmental campaigners who argue it could cause water pollution and threaten biodiversity. We will hear both sides of the debate and ask if the Sami should be prepared to adapt their often-idealised traditions in the face of climate and economic shifts. This is a battle for land and resources, and a future shaped and challenged by historical injustices. Listen to more here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3c...
