518    Originally produced by Documentary Educational Resources 
       in 2007. 
520    Made for the United Nations, this documentary chronicles 
       the logging damage that has taken place in the forests of 
       Finnish Lapland over the past 50 years. Home to the 
       indigenous Saami peoples, these Northern old growth 
       forests are essential to Saami reindeer herding, a 
       traditional way of life that the Saami hope to continue 
       into future generations. Population growth in Finland has 
       created economic pressure - prompting migration to the 
       Saami lands in the North. The resulting forest cutting 
       severely depletes the lichen necessary for free reindeer 
       grazing, and logging infrastructure disrupts the entire 
       forest ecosystem. A tense conflict emerges between the 
       alliance of Greenpeace and Saami activists, who in 2005 
       set up a "Forest Rescue Station" in the woods to stop the 
       cutting, and logging workers, worried about losing their 
       jobs, who create their own "anti-terror camp" in response.
       The situation becomes dramatic as those in the "anti-
       terror" camp continually assault the Greenpeace workers 
       with noise and threatening behavior. Last Yoik in Saami 
       forests? implicates the state-owned logging company 
       Metsahallitus in the exploitation of Saami resources, and 
       shows that the Finnish government has done little to 
       preserve this natural resource. The film explores possible
       economic alternatives to logging, such as tourism, as well
       as more efficient uses for Lappish timber than paper pulp,
       fuel or railways stocks - the wood is an excellent 
       building material that could be commanding a higher price.
       The issue of indigenous land rights is the heart of the 
       problem, and as of the completion of this film in 2007, it
       remains unresolved. "The last Yoik in Saami forests? is a 
       deeply stirring documentary. It makes us understand how 
       far away international politics still are from an 
       effective protection of ecological and cultural diversity.
       And it makes us feel the absolutely crucial importance of 
       personal commitment and integrity for the future of our 
       children and our planet. " - Hildegarde Kurt, PhD,
