谷歌在芬兰扩建AI数据中心项目期间,于完成环境影响评估前已砍伐约300公顷森林1。这片被清理的林地相当于420个足球场的面积1。该数据中心项目总投资额达13亿欧元1。
芬兰许可监督局上月要求谷歌子公司Tuike Finland Oy就其行为进行解释1。芬兰自然保护协会主席哈娜·哈莱门佩指出卫星图像显示原本应受保护的区域已被推平1,呼吁暂停整个项目以重新评估该项目是否已获得正式批准1。相比之下,谷歌辩称森林砍伐行为完全符合芬兰法律法规1。
Google cleared approximately 300 hectares of Finnish forest for its data center expansion project before completing environmental impact assessments 1. The deforested area, equivalent to the size of 420 football fields, has drawn scrutiny from Finnish authorities and conservation groups 1.
Finland's licensing supervision authority, the LVV, requested last month that Tuike Finland Oy—Google's subsidiary involved in the project—explain its actions regarding the forest clearing 1. The €13 billion data center investment became controversial after satellite imagery revealed that areas designated for protection had been leveled, according to Hanna Halmeenpää, chair of the Finnish Nature Conservation Association 1. Halmeenpää called for a halt to the entire project pending reassessment of whether formal authorization was properly granted 1.
Google has defended its conduct, arguing that the forest clearance fully complied with Finnish law and regulations 1.
