Norway turns its last arctic coal mine into a national park 🐻❄️🦭 This is great news, dont you think?
"The goal is to turn the Svalbard Archipelago, in particular the Van Mijenfjord, into a howling wilderness once again — the best managed wilderness in the world where polar bears, seals, and countless other Arctic species can thrive in what experts say will be one of the most resilient areas under threat from climate change."
