Google subsidiary illegally felled flying squirrel habitat in Finland; no crime report filed

Google's Finnish subsidiary Tuike Finland illegally cut down trees serving as resting and movement routes for the protected flying squirrel during 2018-2019 data center expansion in Hamina. The violation was acknowledged but no crime report was made, raising questions about enforcement of environmental protections. This matters as it highlights corporate compliance gaps and potential regulatory leniency in Finland.
