Ellinor Guttorm Utsi

Dear Prime Minister

Ellinor Guttorm Utsi is a Sami Indigenous leader working tirelessly to protect her community’s ancient reindeer­ herding way of life in northern Norway. In 2023, several hundred wind turbines were suddenly proposed directly on their summer grazing lands in Corgas, threatening to damage grazing land, break migration routes and destroy their culture. Despite fierce opposition, the authorities are rushing approvals.

I urge you to protect the rights of the Sami reindeer-herding communities by ensuring that industrial wind-power projects that threaten their lands and way of life do not proceed without the free, prior and informed consent of the affected Sami people.

Yours sincerely
