Open publication - Free publishing - More mining

growing recognition within the mining sector that the right to free, prior and
informed consent is needed in order to improve the relationship with indigenous
people, in this case the Sami ethnic group. Letters of intent have been made,
but do they secure the indigenous people of Finnmarksvidda’s interests? But what
happens with the nature and environment which constitute the livelihood of the
reindeer herders? Why has not any agreements been made that deal with
protecting these fragile areas?
