Rapid land-use change reduces the ability to adapt  . National and EU policies expand land uses for mining, wind energy and bioeconomy in the area, causing loss, fragmentation and degradation of pastures, and increasing human disturbance to animals  . The cumulative impacts of these land uses on pastures are not adequately assessed or recognised in land-use planning . Herding communities face strong barriers to protecting their rights and halting further degradation of pastures  . Attempts by herding communities to stop mining projects have led to conflicts with other actors, including racist hate incidences . Combined with land-use conflicts, climate impacts cause reduced psycho-social health and increase suicidal thoughts among herders  .
