Google illegally cut down 250,000 trees on 330 hectares of forest in northern Finland to build a datacentre without completing required environmental assessments. The Finnish government has halted work at two sites and the incident has sparked national debate over the environmental impact and benefits of datacentre projects amid rapid AI growth. Local communities and conservationists criticize the damage to nature and question the economic gains, while Google apologizes and promises to comply with regulations and plant new trees. The controversy highlights tensions between investment attraction and environmental protection in Finland.
