TRIBES IN NORWAY
The Sámi People
The Sámi are a Finno-Ugric-speaking people who live in the Sápmi (formerly known as Lapland) region, which currently includes significant portions of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Murmansk Oblast in Russia, particularly the majority of the Kola Peninsula.
The Sámi have historically engaged in a range of occupations, such as coastal fishing, fur trapping, and sheep herding. The semi-nomadic reindeer herding is their most well-known form of subsistence. Around 2,800 Sámi people were actively engaged in reindeer herding on a full-time basis in Norway as of 2007. About 10% of the Sámi are connected to reindeer herding, which supplies them with meat, fur, and transportation. In several parts of the Nordic countries, reindeer herding is officially restricted to exclusively Sámi people for reasons related to tradition, the environment, culture, and politics.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND HABITAT PROTECTION IN NORWAY
Approximately 37 percent, or 119,000 km2, of the Norwegian mainland is covered in forests and other woody areas. Nearly 23% of this, or over 72,000 km2, is thought to be productive forest.
There are 125,000 forest properties scattered throughout the fertile forest. The productive forest land is owned by private persons to the tune of 79%. For hundreds of years, Norway’s woods have been heavily exploited for the export of roundwood, sawn timber, and wood tar. Additionally, there is a long history of exploiting the woodlands for game hunting and the grazing of domestic animals.
As an ecological resource and a place to relax, the forest and its biological richness are very valuable. Additionally, standing woods suggest the net uptake of enormous volumes of km2, which lessens the greenhouse effect. It is essential for the environment that the world’s woods do not continue to disappear.
Maintaining biological diversity depends on habitat protection. Under the Nature Diversity Act, several endangered and fragile species and their ecosystems are strictly protected. National parks, nature reserves, and other conservation areas preserve about 16% (50 861 km2) of the Norwegian mainland. The percentage for Svalbard is 65%. (39 800 km2). The alpine region contains the majority of the protected area.

EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN NORWAY
Norway, whose territory includes the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula as well as the island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard, discusses concerns related to global warming that affects it. Climate change is predicted to make Norway’s entire country warmer and wetter.
Norway is the largest producer and exporter of oil and natural gas outside of the Middle East on a per-capita basis. 2016 saw the issuance of 56 new oil exploration licenses close to the Lofoten islands. However, 98% of Norway’s electrical needs are met by renewable energy, primarily through hydroelectricity produced from the country’s large freshwater reserves. Even though Norway is a global pioneer in electric vehicles, transportation still contributes to emissions.
Norway’s climate is mostly influenced by the sea, with warm lowland temperatures along the sea shores. Whereas the inland regions are colder than other places in the world at such northerly latitudes. It is also noticeably milder. Temperatures over freezing point are typical along the shoreline in the north, even during the polar night. Some sections of the country experience heavy rainfall and snowfall due to the oceanic effect.
