Google cleared about 330 hectares of forest, with an estimated 250,000 trees felled, for a data center in Muhos, Finland, according to the report. The large-scale clearing took place before the legally required environmental impact assessment was completed. Finland’s permit and supervision authority ordered Google to pause construction at both Muhos and Otanmäki and stop activities that would significantly alter the environment by October 23.

IT之家 10 月 23 日消息,英国《卫报》昨日(10 月 22 日)报道,谷歌为了在芬兰北部穆霍斯(Muhos)建设数据中心,清除了约 330 公顷(330 万平方米)森林,估计砍伐约 25 万棵树,且在未完成法定环境影响评估前进行大规模土地清理,甚至移除了表土。

IT之家援引博文介绍,当地居民与环保组织批评称,工地如今只剩泥泞空地、机械辙痕和堆积的树根;泥水还可能流入最终汇入奥卢约基河的溪流,引发对水质和生态的担忧。

芬兰许可与监督局(LVV)本月早些时候要求谷歌暂停穆霍斯及约 100 公里外奥坦迈基(Otanmäki)两个工地的施工,并须在 10 月 23 日前停止会显著改变环境的活动;若未遵守,监管机构可能启动执法程序并处以罚款。

环保人士估计,除穆霍斯的 25 万棵树外,奥坦迈基另有约 15 万棵树被砍伐,称谷歌在芬兰非法砍伐 40 万棵树。由于属非法砍伐,相关木材也无法出售给木材加工企业。谷歌芬兰区负责人已就清林道歉。
