Environmental experts concerned about Google’s logging

First, environmental news.

The large-scale deforestation of the technology company Google is worrying environmental experts, who say the government is not taking the logging seriously enough.

Minna Pappila is the 2nd vice-chair of the Finnish Nature Panel. She says that the government needs to change the law quickly because the environment needs to be protected. Right now the law is unclear.

– It allows a really fast lane past this democratic zoning process. That’s one thing we should wake up to, to get it out of there.

Google was forced to halt logging in Muhos and Kajaani because important environmental assessments were pending. Google says it had a different understanding of the law.
