Reindeer are starving in Norway. With rising temperatures, rainfall is becoming more frequent than snow. The bitter consequence: Once the rain freezes, it forms a thick layer of ice, preventing animals from accessing their food sources.

Call against exclusion
The herder is Secretary General of the World Reindeer Herding Association and is travelling to the UN Climate Summit.
