March 22, Swedish government gave green light to British company Beowulf Mining to proceed with plans for an iron ore mine in Gallok, Sami territory in northern Sweden. Indigenous Sami have protested the project for nearly a decade. The mining project with a planned open cast mine covering 100 hectares is threatening reindeer grazing grounds as well as the world heritage site #Laponia. It will cause permanent wounds in the landscape for a planned life span of just 14 years.
