The last five years have been worse grazing winters and it does not look much better this year.
So far, 22 Sami villages have applied for disaster damage protection from the Sami Parliament.
The Sami villages can apply for compensation for feed for the reindeer, then they will receive the compensation afterwards, if there is money.
And the grazing situation is first controlled by the Sami Parliament.
Both the former board and the current one have lobbied the government to bring about some type of climate support, in addition to disaster damage protection.
- It is good that it is raised to the ministry, that you get to know about this situation.
But the question is how long it will take.
And how the climate has time to change.
The last five winters have been difficult, Tor-Erik Huuva told SVT Sápmi in December.
SVT Sápmi is seeking the Sami Parliament.
