That photo looks horrible. Of all places, why cut down a ton of trees to build a data center. I hope the trees were used to build housing for the homeless or something. Maybe a youth center at least?
I don’t know much about Findland, so maybe there are trees everywhere.
There indeed are trees everywhere, forest cover in Finland is 74%. If the land is not in use, it will turn into forest naturally, though such land is usually planted on purpose to speed up the growth. And then it will be logged, and regrown.
I assume locals likely won't be angry about the loss of the trees, but they will be angry about a megacorp skirting the regulations, as Finland is a very rules and regulations oriented country.
Much of Finland's tree cover is planted forests, but the controversy here is that they also cut down some rare native (and protected) habitats.
