Google cleared 526 hectares of Finnish forest, then wolves appeared

The expansion of Google's data centers in Finland has led to significant environmental issues, including deforestation and wildlife displacement. Local residents report increased sightings of wolves as animals flee their natural habitats. The Finnish Regulatory Authority has temporarily halted work due to the lack of necessary environmental assessments. This has sparked public outrage, with over 93,000 citizens signing a petition for stricter regulations. Despite the backlash, Google remains optimistic about its partnership with Finland and plans to plant trees in the affected area, although experts warn this won't replace the lost mature forest ecosystem.
