Members of a native community in the arctic areas of Sweden say their reindeer are facing possible starvation from unusual weather related to climate change. The Sami indigenous community takes care of about 8,000 reindeer throughout the year. The animals are moved between traditional feeding areas in high mountains bordering Norway in the summer and forests farther east in the winter. Community member Niila Inga told The Associated Press he is worried about his reindeer. He said climate change has affected the area’s weather activity and created food shortages. “If we don’t find better areas for them where they can graze and find food, then the reindeers will starve to death,” Inga said.
