Google’s Finnish subsidiary, Tuike Finland Oy, cleared about 330 hectares near Muhos and nearly 200 hectares at Otanmaki before completing the required environmental assessments, removing an estimated 400,000 trees across roughly 1,300 acres. Finnish authorities ordered the suspension of preparatory work, including tree removal, topsoil excavation and access-road construction. Otanmaki resident Anni Ranta said wild animals fled the forest and wolves entered the village. The sites are part of Google’s announced €13 billion investment to expand its Finnish data-center infrastructure, which includes plans to replant 130 hectares at Muhos.
