Ok....I'm speechless right now. I could never imagine that so many of you would see the whole video and feel so much with me. I want to thank you with all my heart for listening and for taking your time to watch it and write and share your feelings. This just...warms my heart so soooo much. And I saw now that someone started a petition for this. WOW!! You can find the link here: www.change.org/p/berit-h%C3%B6gman-don-t-build-wind-turbines-in-grundtj%C3%A4rn Thank you. Thank you!!! THANK YOU!!! ❤️🙏🏻
We are always with you Jonna. There are so many of us who are so connected to Nature that we can feel your pain. We pray that your Paradise doesn't get stolen from you and your beautiful community. Stay strong and hope you can find a strong way to stop this from happening. Dont stress too much in the process and please do take care of your health. Lots of love from India ❤❤
If the forest is gone it is going to be a sad Christmas and new year😭 we are already loosing many forests 😭I don’t want to loose what is left for greedy entrepreneurs. You should try get support from city people because they can make a revolution and stop this project.
Jonna send this video. Send this video with you talking to camera, just the bit you telling us. Send it to the papers. Send it to huffing ton post in America. Send it to every high powered contact you have. Show them your channel. Believe. Maybe you are there to save the land. Don't give up. Don't think you don't have enough power. The power of your heart can move mountains. Fight for your trees girl. Fight for your lake, send this video to anyone you can think of who is in the media. Get on the radio stations. You are stronger than you think. Hold the vision of your dream home in your heart. Root. Ground. Drive your staff into the ground and call the wild with your kiln ing. It's time to draw on your spiritual and nature powers. You arrived 7 years ago for a reason. You can do this, if you believe. Nature healed you, now it's your turn. Time to draw on earth power, DM me if you want to talk this through. Believe with your whole heart, you are more powerful than you think. It's time to call forth the forest powers, the northern light powers. Create a kulning and release it with every strength you have. We will all hold the vision for that gorgeous place to remain untouched. We have all been healed by that place. Call forth the forest girl. The unseen power of the earth is stronger than that company. Like you said, it's not about you, it's about nature. Do it for your nature family. We will all hold the vision for you and the forest and the animals xx
Julie P I believe too this is a great way to get the message across you captured it perfectly and for the time I truly understand there can be a chance
"Believe. Maybe you are there to save the land. Don't give up. Don't think you don't have enough power. The power of your heart can move mountains." This made me cry. Such beautiful words, and so true. I'm sending all my love and belief to help out on this ♥
Julie P Thank you. So much love. I first watched this video 12 hours ago and have been crying much of the day. Jonna has touched so many of us so deeply. Your words are powerful: I had to come back and find them, which, believe me, took a lot of scrolling! May we all somehow take strength. Drive your staff into the ground. Yes.
This video along with your comment made me cry - this is the truth! There are some of us that remember nature is our soul, every inch of nature destroyed is a bullet to our hearts. It's time to remind everyone, then maybe we can create a beautiful society for everyone
No, don't say "we". How can we all (normal citizens) change the the mind of the big powerful corporations with thousands of dollars / euros??? Life, nature, animals... The EARTH is much more valuable than money. How do we stop their selfish "money" abusive mentallity???! - yes, we manifest, yes, we say it on the internet! ... But they do not listen :(
@@Islacyan I completely understand how you feel.The world is very backwards and corrupt, but we just have to remember to be conscious and try to be as independent and sustainable as we possibly can, because we do vote with our dollars.
I am currently studying energy engineering for my master's degree and have completed modules focused on renewable energy, wind turbines included. As part of the studies we are taught the physics, sustainability (economic, environmental and social), the benefits and impacts of wind turbines, how to implement them and why. My goal all along was to be involved in the renewable energy transition for the good of the environment and human health (when compared to our current fossil fuel addiction). What bothered me is that we are taught about NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), where local people are seen to obstruct projects against what is perceived to be the greater good, and that local people are an obstacle that is to be navigated for the benefit of society as a whole. To me it feels as though we are all taught, Wind turbines are better for the environment than fossil fuels, can be very profitable and serve society as a whole, so they are therefore the best solution to most problems. I want to thank you for highlighting what real people in these situations actually feel and the impact that this energy transition is having on real people, you have given me a real moment of pause. I got to see many of your videos first and so have fallen in love with the nature that you live in, now I am also upset that your home could be destroyed, seems hypocritical for me to want to help fix nature by destroying nature. Videos like this need to be seen, otherwise budding engineers such as myself could end up with the wrong impression that what they are doing is always the right thing to do, yes wind turbines have their place in solving the climate change crisis and I stand by that, but it does not have to be there. This is what happens when business and profit takes over, and real people and nature are cast aside. I have signed the petition and support you.
You're mad Lee! It is the real impact on about 10 people! Ten people cannot and should not stop progress! Much better to focus environmental efforts in Brazil, Indonesia etc
@@tahac805 I'll say it: I dont agree with you. hear me out. I am a city person on the other side of the world from where Jonna lives. But her videos connect us together. I would never have even known she exists with out her videos. I recently found this channel but I can tell she is genuine, and wonderful. This video was hard to watch because I could feel her pain. Did you not? You say they should continue with the project because its "only 10 people". I say you are wrong. Now imagine one of those people was you. It was your family and closest friends. Would you want to live in constant fear of if you can even survive? What if an oil company comes to you tomorrow and says "we found an oil deposit under your house. you and your entire neighborhood have to leave"? Would you let them because its "only a neighborhood"? Only 10-20 people would have to leave. No big deal right? I don't think youd just leave. After all, it's your house. It's where you live. Would you give that up? Like she said, she lives there for only one reason and this would tear it away from her. Would you be able to live if the one biggest thing you care about was torn away from you? I know I wouldnt be able to All I ask is you think about this and have a good day :)
Wind is a very ineffective energy. It takes tons of turbines to produce enough energy for one city. Nuclear is by far the best energy source, and extremely safe as long as it is well maintained.
@@pvic6959 This whole story would be so emotional if, for example, Sweden was not selling weapons and in fact dropping bombs around the world with the Americans, on schools hospitals etc. But no, all this chick wants is to make snow videos and to be left alone
My wife and I just finished watching your video, Jonna. It brought tears to our eyes. We know what you and Johan are going through. We live in Northern Maine, which is almost identical in climate to where you live. We purchased some land in an area called "Mount Chase". We found out that a company from Canada bought nearly 7,000 acres of land, including one of our mountains. They intend to start drilling into the mountain, and using TOXIC chemicals to mine the ore! This isn't even legal, but they are giving money to local government officials, to look the other way. We also deal with the logging industry here. The biggest company is called "Irving", and they love to come into an area and saw down every tree, and wreck the land with their heavy equipment. Then they spray an Herbicide (glyphosate) onto what is left of the forest, so that it kills most of the plants except for the trees which they replant. This has caused the death of much of the wildlife here. Please fight this wind turbine industry. We have some of them in our area, here in Northern Maine. We will be praying for you and Johan to make the right decision.
husky394xp Same thing happend to my father here in northern sweden. The company ended up destroying my dads land and destroyed the lakes. Then the company went down and left destroyed property for the state to take care of. This all happend 12-13 years ago and they still haven't fixed it.
It seems companies from Canada buy all around the world mines and forests and they ruin everything. In Romania they bought a lot of land and they just cut everything. It's so sad and nobody reacts.
This video broke my heart... When you were sitting on that rock, and the trees weren't there anymore, I actually cried... I'm so saddened that humans can't see the value of these forest and can't feel how alive they are! I guess rare people like us can see it and feel it. Your photography, and videography captures he energy of these forests! Right now i live in a small town, but one day i want to be immersed in nature like you. Until that day, i will just keep watching your videos, and feel the infinite wisdom of nature through your videos.. Thank you so much for your work. You have a beautiful heart ❤️ Much love from Calabria, Italy.
"When you were sitting on that rock, and the trees weren't there anymore, I actually cried." Intellectually you understand what she is talking about. The change, the loss, the uncertainty. But that juxtaposition from past to present takes it to emotional levels immediately.
The forests need to be cut down now and then for the owners to make any money on their investment. It will be back again in 50-100 years or so. More than half of Sweden is covered in forests that are used to produce wood.
I am here for everything she is protesting for. I can not stand these big companies killing these beautiful forests. I am from Jamaica and I grew up in a village kinda the same like your but was very close to the ocean, and they wanted to build a big hotel on the sea side and unfortunately it went through, I lost my house, my farm, the nature I grew up in and everything, so I know how you feel. I wish I could give you a big hug!❤️
One person can change the world. Maybe you are the person who saved the Sweedish lapland. Don't give up, do what you can, go as far as you can, share your cause ❤
@sillybillybadboy I am sorry to say (because I truly liked Jonna) but at this point I suspect she doesn't care about anything but herself. Her image of "connecting with nature" is for profit at a level where it becomes sickening. Unless, of course, her depression is related to her denying what she know in her heart and head is the truth. But I could not hear one single reflection in that direction. Makes me sad, but I am willing to give her one more chance. I expect that she is going to make a follow-up video, then we will know if she have some "deeper" reflections, or if she is just another fraud.
I know your video is already three years old. Still wanted to say, there is also another person in this world, who feels sad, when the favorite forest is gone. I love to be in the forest with my dog and also I also have favorite forest. This year I also made the experience , my favorite forest was gone. I felt sad, but somehow I thought... common! Don't be sad, because of a lost part of a forest. but actually I was right... it is a reason to be sad. You reminded me again of it, because you shared your feelings. Thank u !
I literally have tears in my eyes from the pictures of before and after the forest was cut down of you sitting on the rock. Mankind is just so disgusting.
Bella Donna It’s not only In Schweden..., I think it’s all over the world that the governments are not doing there “jobs” vor the ordinary people ans nature. They are working for the people with big money 💰, who want full control the people. They destroy that what is good and beautiful. Good alternative solutions they ignore, when they lose some power and control the humanity. The Bible dit give us perspectives why. And also that Gott don’t let this destruktive management for ever. Until this time we must “accept” this System with many evil elements.
Blue Cat this is a massive wake-up call. I had no idea. I too have tears in my eyes. The before/after was like a funeral. Maybe we can all use less energy. We can all say no to having super warm homes in winter. We can all use less. It’s honestly disturbing.
You spoke long but not one second too much. Not one second. I started crying when you spoke of your happiness in the spring, knowing some bad news was gonna come. I felt what was good was gonna be taken away. And I cried with you. My children came to ask why I cry and I could only say I feel this woman so deeply. What is done to her and the nature is so wrong words fail to express it. You represent the pureness in all of us. When it is crushed, not appreciated, we are all in danger. This is the way of life, the way of the world today. Too often we hear this same story. I cry with you our angel. I pray the nature wins, there is still time to see a change in the course. Love from Fnland.
I was up 3 hours at night, woke up to think about this. An idea came to me. Maybe it is already in some of these 3000+ comments you have received :) We/world really do care for your cause! So the idea. There are funds and stiftelsen that buy and protect precious land. Your videos show yours is such. Have someone check what these instances are in Sweden, both private and public. If you contact and appeal to the public instance that protects forests that have special value, maybe they feel for this cause in their heart and protect the forest for future generations. Everything is possible. And you are a public figure in Sweden so they might use this case to improve their public profile as "good guys". Here is a snippet of a private organisation that operates in Finland. If you guys need private money to buy the land, I am sure a GoFundMe project would get enough funds. I would love to own a piece of that precious land. "Stiftelsen för naturarvet är en privat stiftelse vars syfte är att skydda gamla skogar. Den grundades år 1995. Stiftelsen använder donerade medel till att köpa gamla skogar som står i så naturligt tillstånd som möjligt och ansöker om permanent fridlysning av sina skogar enligt naturskyddslagen. Söder om Lapplands län har man skyddat gamla skogar väldigt litet - mindre än två procent av den produktiva skogsarealen. Därför strävar stiftelsen efter att köpa skogar framför allt i landets södra och mellersta delar. Stiftelsen för naturarvet äger 58 skyddsområden. Skogarnas sammanlagda areal är ungefär 1300 hektar.
Jonna, I'm writing my PhD about exactly this topic - the lie of sustainability being used to build wind farms in nature reserves, and the impact this has on Sami and other people living in the area. My research is in Norway, but the topic is the same. I'm so sorry you've been dealt this hand and I feel your pain. I can see that you managed to fight this wind farm, which is very inspiring and gives me hope that my research can also help people in Norway win their fights.
Hi, I am also doing a phd on the topic. I am very conflicted about this topic, I am not sure what alternatives to fossil fuels might there be if not wind and solar. What is your take? I feel like we need clean energy but not at the cost of deforestation, bird killing, etc.
@@richardk6043 True. If you don't pollute one medium (air, soil, water, landscape), you end up polluting another medium... But we can't live without electric power nowadays. And what I love about this couple, Jonna and Johan, is that they're not radical ecologists. They still use an internal-combustion engine in their car and all new technologies and devices produced in very polluting factories. Which means that we can't give up everything and live as some Amish communities, so we need to produce more and more power...
@@richardk6043 I agree. But I didn't know about chill climates impact on battery life. Are you sure about that? I thought that chill climates cooled the batteries and improved their efficiency and life. Internal-combustion engines also work better in chill climates because air density is higher and they're able to output more power (or the same power with a lower fuel consumption). BTW, do you know that many electric vehicles are being sold in Norway (not so many in Sweden, I reckon)? It's like a paradox because Norway is an important oil producer.
@@richardk6043 Thank you. Got it. Here in Spain a lot of wind and solars farms are currently being built, although we're still buying energy from France nuclear plants. In the 70s and 80s there were ambitious plans to develop nuclear power in Spain, but they were stopped (to put a brake on Spain development, maybe?) and consumers had to return the investment wasted through their electric bills, ridiculous it may seem...
Everywhere the same, where is nature, they destroy it. I feel the same like you for my home. I ive in Germany and we had Beautiful woods, but they destroyed it in a few days for highways. Our drinking water will be poisoned and the nature died. My home is not anymore my home.
I'm feeling the same way. I also live in Germany. I come from an area where there are really beautiful forests and fields. But they are all bought up and everything is built on. It doesn't feel like Home anymore
@@sudo3870 Who is to blame? A poor person needing work in the countryside or a big corporation like IKEA that sells cheap furniture to city dwellers? Our problem is that these corporate people always get away with destruction.
The forest of my heart has been cut down too. Last week I went for a walk, I felt happy because it was the first time in a very long moment, and then, it was just gone. The fairy's path, the land of the skies, the mushrooms circle - all disappeared. I stopped breathing for a moment. People don't realize how painful it is to lose a place that we loved so much. Peculiarly a place like a forest, where we know that we were not alone because we could hear the spirits and the whispers of the trees, and the animals, as we know that they were watching us. That all of this was their home. It feels like losing a part of our heart. Send you love Jonna, more than ever. ❤🍂🦕🌙🌲🌲
I resonate with you... It's so hard when people were so blind and deaf to the sounds of nature... And cannot feel that connection in their hearts... it's so so painful...
Same here, my favorite part of a forest near my town was cut down and I had no Idea when i went for a walk some weeks ago. When I saw what happened I also stopped breathing for a while and burst into tears. It felt like a graveyard and I took some time to meditate and mourn the beautiful trees and thanked them for their beauty and wonderful energy. It is so heart breaking and I feel Jonna and cried with her.
Bruit de Pluie I feel so heart broken to hear this💔why do people don’t realise the importance of forest. I lost hope to live in this planet filled with greedy people😭
Bruit de Pluie I am so emotional right now😢so nicely said!....it is hard, because I know that it is happening everyday and we try to build universities to cure cancer or depression, but all we truly need is nature....💗
Jonna, you have more power than you realize. You can and you must fight this! Gather support from your fans in Sweden, and have them gather others as well, then come to the meeting in January with a HUGE following so that the politicians have to listen. Give them a speech during that meeting, show them what the forest used to be and still can be, and protest, protest, protest. Through RUclips you make your voice heard. Let it be heard.
My heart goes out to you from Canada I live in a city that use to be known as "The Forest City" but many of the forests and green spaces have been stripped away to build houses and road and companies. I grew up in those forests, they were my safe places. I could be free but now my home town feels more and more dystopian and the people seem to be more depressed and withdrawn. it breaks my heart, we need to protect nature, it gives us so much
Sad yes, but no untouched forest looks like that. Most if not all the trees in the shoot have been replanted at some point. About some 50+ (depending on the climatezone) odd years and they will cut them again. She is walking in modern forest not an ancient and untouched wilderness. It's a cycle of planting and cutting and roughly about 9% of Sweden's forests are protected areas and have a more or less guaranteed natural cycle of life by law. Yep that's just boring me, but man those are beautiful shots of nature and the sad contrasts of industry..
I grew up in a small village in Russia, and it was magical, clean waters, purest air. In a last few years the wind directions have changed and now a lot of smoke from the city factories goes there. And the mines drain something into the rivers as well. So the water is nearly brown and the air is not that pure anymore. This video made me cry hard...
You are such a precious soul. I read in the comments that the wind turbine project never happened. Thank god, I am so relieved for all of you living there. Lots of love.
This is important. It's the epitome of what is happening to our planet right now - it's ridiculous, the whole point of green energy should be the slowing down of the destruction of our planet but even that endeavor has been utterly corrupted by greed. Thank you so much for sharing, Jonna - you are connecting reality with people out there and what you do has such a huge impact. Really seeing what is happening is entirely different from hearing faraway stories without connection to our personal lives, it makes it nearly impossible to ignore. My heart is weeping with you and I sincerely hope things will turn around. If there is a petition or anything like that we as your audience can sign, please, please share! We want to help.
I don't think any of us could say it better than that. I absolutely hate and feel sick to my stomach aswell as angry that even the pure hope and effort to help slow the decline of our planet's ecosystems and nature has been utterly corrupted by greed and politics just as you put it. Preach 🙏🏻
So, you're suggesting mass-murder? Who gets to decide who should live and who should die? No it's not about overpopulation. Living in the north of Sweden I know there is plenty of space and resources. Do we really NEED that much resources to live? No, we don't - we're just spoiling ourselves. Overpopulation is a myth. Greed, however, and the Swedish 'Norrland-is-a-colony-for-exploitation' mentality are very real. All the best!
@@TheTralalalala90 of course it's easier to support a smaller population than a bigger one without putting a strain on the environment. That's not a myth, it's logic. Of course mass murder is not a solution, but encouraging people to not breed like fucking rabbits might be a good start
Evil Cactus there was a post about this. And it can be proven with simple math. That if you took every person on this planet 🌎 and moved them all to the USA state of Texas. They would each have 1,300 square feet to themselves. Now granted, no one is truly advocating this. But it does prove that overpopulation is a myth propagated by the mass media. But overconsumption is the real problem. Most of us take, and above all waste too much of everything.
Jonna, I too cried for your beloved forest. There is so much that doesn’t make sense. I am in Australia & have been dedicated to finding solutions for how to live more sustainably on the Earth for many years. In my searching I went to university & studied Health & Environment, I worked for mining oil & gas companies as a Health Specialist, I travelled Australia for 2 years catching camels from the wild as a form of sustainable transportation, and then I worked for local government as an Environmental Officer. My whole journey led me to waste. The solution I found is in our hands. Waste Reduction. By individually reducing single use packaging less trees get cut down, less power is needed, less mines start up. Gosh, I have so much to say on this & it’s also hard to find the words. I too cry for the Earth, rejoice with the Earth & pray that humanity wakes up. I’m at the beginning of my journey of blogging/vlogging, but I too hope to have an impact like you. Thank you for your beautiful heart. Thank you for your beautiful message. Thank you for sharing your life & feelings with us. You are such a shining light & inspiration. I hope we can turn the tides so future generations can celebrate & be connected with the beautiful nature provided by the Earth. Sending you so much love. Thank you for all that you do. Karla xxxx
I'm from Germany living in a big city, in Hamburg to be precise and I feel so bad about all of this. I'm so happy and relieved that everything turned out fine and I promise I will do everything possible to take part of saving Swedens beautiful nature! Its a special and magical place that has to be saved!
I am crying for you but mostly I am crying for this land. Bless you for connecting us to this nature through your videos. I believe you have touched so many of our hearts that maybe our sorrow and hope combined as a prayer for the land can change this outcome possibly. So with these tears I am shedding I create a prayer for the nature and animals. And all of us watching I am sure feel the same. Thanks you for sharing your heart with us. You touch on such a deep level through this platform. ❤️🙏🏻
I couldn’t even respond to this at first. I took my dogs for a walk and cried. I grew up in a forest and know it as family. I know your feelings about this all too well. My last house was the first in a neighborhood being built in a forest, so I had to hear the death of the trees all around as other houses were built. It was the most painful thing. I had to move from that house to have a place for my horses but sold to people I knew, so I thought what I had preserved in my space there was safe. I had to return to get mail not long after and was invited inside. When I looked out the back windows to the forest I had left standing as it was without touching it, I saw all the trees chopped off to stumps. They were clearing to put in a pool. I got sick. I left immediately and cried all the way home. Not long after, I went to a yoga retreat and in one of the meditations, she told us to enter and merge with our favorite tree. I knew exactly which one, one from my old house that had been like a wise teacher and a source of comfort for me. Even though she was now gone, I chose her. It took forever, but I was able to finally blend with her. I heard the most loving, older woman’s voice say to me, “Be to others what I have been to you.” Your videos are doing just that. You’re being this loving, wise, comforting presence in the world. You’re being the spirit of the forest. My heart is broken over the forests there. The picture of the sweet, wise beings piled and numbered was almost too much. I can imagine your pain. You’re doing such great work in sharing this message. Maybe the people who don’t understand our connection with the forest can have a glimpse into it’s spirit and presence by seeing the beautiful before pictures and the horrifying after pictures. I’m sending so much energy of healing for the place and for you. I hope more than anything that the wind farm doesn’t go through and that you have answers soon. Much love to you! Keep up your beautiful work!
@@rosefrancaise That's what I love about Jonna's work - she brings so much love to everyone and brings it out in everyone. I agree, it makes me hopeful!
@Catalina Ravon Thank you! Much love back to you! I wish it weren't rare, this connection with nature, but I think Jonna is having a big impact on waking people up to it.
As I was listening & watching your tears I asked myself "Why dont we all grieve when our planet is destroyed?" And then I began to cry uncontrollably. Thank u for this wake up call. U are beautiful inside & out 💗
philip trevor I believe you are exactly right. Especially when this is being done by the "masters" who rule over germany. This is awful. I'm in america but my ancestors came from norway/sweden. 😔
I really cried so hard after looking at the forest cut down. We humans are our own enemies and a disgrace to all the life on Earth. Thanks Jonna for letting us know about this. You've done your bit and I hope that you find another forest. I know that nothing can replace the memories you've had but as you said let's stay strong, follow the flow Love from India ❤️🇮🇳
Myself & my community just fought off a large industry from building in our rural community. I feel so connected and understand what you've been going through.
Now that I know you've gotten the rural scholarship, it seems like everything happens for a reason and there is a blueprint and life path for everyone. May the rural scholarship you got continue to propel positive change against the destruction we are causing to Mother Earth. Let's start this healing. ❤️
jonna i know it sounds silly but I really think you have the ability to lead the change the world needs right now. A lot of others feel as hopeless as you do right now and I cant tell you how much it comforts me to hear that someone else cares as much as I do. Nothing else in this world matters if we lose the nature that our humanity grows from. We are not seperate from the nature we are destroying, but most people seem to have forgotten that. I really believe that you, and this community, can make a hell of a big difference.
There might be bigger problems in the world but big industries moving into sacred lands and killing the forests is the most important thing we people should be concerned about. My heart breaks for you and your village. Your corner of this world has always tugged at my heart. Seeing you climb that big stone and kiss that tree stump just broke my heart hun. I feel you will go on to explore new forests and your videos will continue to light up the lives of all your fans. I burn blessings on every full and new moon and I will continue to add you to all these blessings. Your plight is the worlds plight and we need to win this, so I thank you for bringing our attention to this as the mainstream media keeps these sickening stories from us here in the US. Stay strong and in your truth. We love you.
Dear Jonna, I live in Australia and when I was a little girl there used to be this road through a rainforest that I drove through quite often with my family. It was so magical. One day we drove along and to my horror the entire forest was gone, cut down to make way for a big, ugly highway (or perhaps you call it a motorway). I cried and cried and cried. I thought the people who did this were evil! Now I am an adult and I have heard recently another area in my hometown is to be cleared to make way for houses. The government doesn't care that the koalas live there, or that the trees are so old and tall. Again I have felt the same pain and anger. I cried when I saw that forest in your video gone! For two reasons though, a) because your forest should be there forever and should never be cut down, but also b) because it is so nice to see another human care so much about the earth. For some reason it is so comforting to know there is someone else who feels the same way I do. Thank you so much for being yourself. I know that place where you live, it loves you. x x x
I started crying when you talked about the forest. I didn't even realize it at first but suddenly I had tears streaming down my face. There is something so special about places like that; and when they're gone it is just like you said, "it is a sorrow."
I live in New Zealand we have greenpeace they try to fight . But now all the water is polluted from to many cows and deforestation. The people dont want any of it and its killing our land . My children cannot swim in the beaches and rivers our water is not safe to drink anymore without processing . I read all the comments and it seams we are all globaly mourning the loss of our land to big bussiness coperate interests that dont benifit the people or future generation's. The struggle is real !
But you don't seem to realize the direct connection to what you said and why all that happened- you said "my children cannot.." you seem to not realize that your children will each require a HOUSE made of wood, placed somewhere where there were trees, they will need food, water, clothing, produce sewage and garbage, their eating meat or using any animal based products requires more cows and animals to be bred, fed and put somewhere- that causes deforestation, water pollution and all the rest. You mention "corporate interests" but fail to appreciate the fact that businesses cant make money, and cant expand if people stop BUYING their products- YOU the buyer/consumer is who is causing those corporate interests to expand to fill your demands! If people put solar and wind producing equipment on their own roof and property, the corporation would not NEED 200 more wind turbines to produce you with electric!
@@HobbyOrganist this sort of response is based on an aweful lot of ignorant assumptions on your part Victorian Sculptures. Im guessing your comment is based on your own consumerist behaviours not mine as how would you know what mine are. I choose to live in a sustainable way i have my own solar i grow my own food i have my own bussines i care deeply about the environment and my childrens and the futures of everyone elses children. I do not believe that society has to perpetuate such a wastesul unsustainable way if living . I dont support corperate growth i suport local i do not support deforestation of heritage woodlands. I support organics not monsanto . I have educated myself and my children in a better way of living and only hope they can carry that knowledge into a better cleaner more balanced global system. I consume consciously not unconsciously like so many others, it unfortunatly is the less traveld harder road to go by but i believe the only real option. Thank you for your comment as I believe it came from a caring place not a judgemental one. Its incredibly important that all humans continue talking together about this to find solutions.
@@HobbyOrganist also i think you should do some research into the dairy industry and educate yourself about the mass produced milk powder not dirven by demand but buy market fixing. They make 100 times more than the market demands and stock pile milk powder in huge warehouses in order to control the price buy flooding the market or holding back product. Its often the case with oil and many other commodities that are often produced at the cost of our environments.
Jonna I cried so hard, when I saw your video last night and even dreamed about meeting you and Johan after that. Even though we haven't met in person I feel so connected to you and seeing you so heartbroken is shaking me to the core. I am so sorry for your loss and all the struggle you were going through all these years. It amazes me how you managed to keep your head up during that time and still enjoy life, create and see the beauty in everything! Stay strong you are not alone!
I found your channel 2 days ago and you literally made me cry. Thank you for being on the Internet and inspiring so many of us to be better humans. I send you love! Thank you!
Jonna, I am so very sorry to hear this news this really is so very sad. If there if one thing that is very evident in the time I have been watching your vlogs it's how you seem as one with the environment and nature around you. The places you show us are truly stunning and the thought of them being destroyed is heartbreaking. I'd like to ask if there is anything people outside of Sweden can do to try and help with this? Is there anyone we can contact or petition to ask them to reconsider destroying this beautiful place? I would me very happy to help. Finally, it is very clear how upsetting this is for you, especially given how long you have been facing this. While I know it is very hard right now please do not let it allow the light inside you to die. My thoughts are with you all.
I agree with you. Is there anything we can do outside of Sweden? I would be happy to take time to write emails, letters or sign any petitions etc. Please let us know. :)
I feel the same that maybe there could be something to do about this also outside of Sweden :) What could it be? To bring more awareness of these things around the world? To get connected? To get more connected with ourselves and with the light in us and let that light lead our way? To find the solutions together and concentrate on that? Letting all of our feelings be allowed and then letting go of anger and concentrate on building the new kind of world, together?
We have no Places like this in Germany anymore....So sorry, that Germany is involved in this tragedy.Makes me furious,angry, sad, all at the same Time. The Money destroys everything. I wish I could experience once in my life, that people make good decision. Like you.
If Germany had population of 6 million it would be like Sweden. On the other hand it would be nice to heat house with electricity that comes from wind instead of burning trees. Put wind turbines on the sea.
Geothermal energy needs a lot of electricity to run. At least 4KW for small house. To produce that electricity you need to burn coal, trees, diesel or have some wind energy which is so far the most efficient green energy.
Yes you do. In Thuringin where my partner is from there is beautiful forests and nature. He is from a town in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere reserve with forests on all sides. So many Germans from the rest of the country have never even been to the east because they look down the noses on the ossis. There is plenty of unspoiled places there, have seen it myself.
There will soon be no places like this in Sweden any longer. They will all be overrun with psychotic religious zealots hell bent on decapitating every last "infidel." Good luck with that, BTW.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. These cut-off trees remind me of dead bodys. The cut- off wood like a cemetry. At least i m glad that many people still see this very commen.
This is heartbreaking, Jonna. I'm so sorry to hear about the threat of the wind turbines and the death of the forest. When you said "There are bigger problems in the world" I said out loud, "There are not" There are no bigger problems in the world than humans not recognizing the beauty of our planet and instead of doing our best to steward and protect this beautiful gift, they are destroying it.
Oooooooh ... This is such sad news Jonna ... I am crying now and I'm an old man .. I remember the first time I felt sad about the way we humans treat this beautiful Planet was over 35 years ago .. Your video touched my heart in a way that not many things have in the past years .. I deeply deeply share your sadness ... Firstly thank you for taking the time and courage to share your deepest feelings about what is happening there, and how it impacts your life, the life of the community there .. and also our beautiful Mother Earth!!! I've lived over 70 years here, I've Shepherding on Scottish hills, and yet I have never lived so close to nature as you, never quite so in-tune as you, but I feel it deeply too ... I don't have answers .. somewhere I want to believe that there are answers to be found in consciousness, I have recently found hope on a personal level in the work of Mada Dalian .. (only just so I cannot claim transformation of anything, but am truly impressed by her work .. 'The Dalian Healing Method' and 'In Search of the Miraculous' .. maybe you might find some answers there too!? Thank You, thank You again, for such an honest outpouring of your heart, feelings and sensitivities!! I applaud everything you do and the way that you do it!!! May Great Spirit guide you All in these challenging times ❤️💖❤️ 🤗 🙏
This is so heartbreaking. There are no words to describe how much love I am sending to everyone in Grundtjärn.... to all of nature... and people....to all walks of life there. Sending you such a big hug Jonna.... filled with light.
Already 23 thousand signatures on the petition against the turbines. And there are still more signatures coming in! This community is amazing. So much love and support!
I totally agree, I just discovered Jonna about 2 weeks ago and she got my Attention ... she's magical ... she transmits and boost positive energy to all of us ... it is beautiful to see that people from all around the world is awakening ... we have to change the current course of our lives ... Reconnect with Nature ... and Jonna is Magical about that, she can put us right there and make us feel as if we were a part of that ... just beautiful ...
My father's grandmother came from Sweden in 1906 when she was 13 years old and only swedish did she and her family speak. I love to hear it. It's such a beautiful language. The beauty you are sharing of this part of Sweden is absolutely breathtaking.
Seems like soon no one will be able to experience the pure beauty of nature and it's magical silence... Our planet is too small for all this greed that make people destroy everything (
@Black whiskey 7 it's horrifying to realize that you have to share this planet with people that will do everything to continue luxury way of life... They just don't care about the consequences.
@@helgaketurka Globalists movement are a very sinister cartel that have silently worked on long term project how to create war, destroy nature etc to reduce the population to 500 million. "Our"politicians are owned by those rich gross jack asses that attacks us.
It's heartbreaking to hear about the situation. I wonder if you could call to all your viewers for help. you have shared with so many people the amazing treasure of the place you live in. it's truly a special untouched place and as you say this is extremely rare. very few of us have ever experiences such a place which is I think one of the reasons your videos touch so many people. I'm sure that if you made a video specifically addressing this issue you could have a big impact. Don't give up. let us know how we can help you protect your home xxx
I just felt a strong need to speak for you Jonna and for all of you who read the comments. When Jonna sat there on her rock and looked out over the once evergreen forest, now devastated, and when she leaned over and kissed the tree stump. I realise that it just felt so much like she kissed a dear friend for one last goodbye. It broke me. I am now in tears and they won't stop running. I had never before thought of the forest as something so alive and something that is actually so beautiful and rich. That it gives us humans so much in every way. Not only wealth in trees, wildlife and land but also support in life, just like a close friend. Thank you Jonna for showing us what nature means to you. And thank you so much for inspiring me to see the forest from a different perspective than just as a resource for construction and for export.
I was crying for the loss of the beautiful trees and then read the victory against the wind turbines! So happy for all! I just recently found your videos and I am enchanted by you and your way of life. It is hard but brings such love in life. Blessings to you and all who read this.
I have signed and shared the petition and shared your video as well. As an Alaskan with Scandinavian bloodlines, I can relate to the indescribable feeling that you are a part of the land. It is as if your lungs breath with the trees and your dreams run with the rivers and your tears fall with the snow and your heart breaks with the ice. I know this feeling. I am sending you all of the positive energy, blessings, and compassion that I have during this difficult time. I love you and your forests. I hope that you can live a long and happy life together for so many more years to come 🙏🏼
Oh Jonna, your videos give me life. Thank you for all of these. :) Also, please let us know if there is anything we could do as a RUclips community to help preserve the forests of Northen Sweden. Petitions or anything which could do some impact on the people who are making decisions. I felt the emptiness and the mundane feelings after seeing your before and after clips of the forest which has been destroyed. Deforestation and global warming have its consequences and Sri Lanka is suffering some of it currently.
This brought tears in my eyes. I cry with you. Nature is our friend, our mother and is healing us. So sad news❤️Hope that you can stay there forever and the windturbines never becomes reality!!
Finally, I found one bubble on the internet crying about the land as much as I am. I grew up in British Columbia, Canada, the most beautiful place in the world (in my opinion). I grew up playing among the trees and creeks and forests there, the smells there are like no other to me. Now climate change is making it warmer in the winter, and the pine beetle isn't dying (usually the cold kills it) and they're eating all the trees as a result, so many of the forests are now brown and dead, and also climate change is causing more fires, and the dead trees act like tinder, and the less forest there is the less water retention, which makes everything dryer, which causes it to catch on fire more - it's a vicious cycle. My home is burning and turning brown and I cry whenever I go there now and see the damage, but I also cry a lot because it's still so heartbreakingly beautiful. It looks a lot like the forests I see in these videos, but even wilder, with more steep steep mountains and plunging river canyons full of jagged rocks and cliffs. It's so beautiful. I feel helpless and full of a rage that cannot be contained. Sometimes I feel like I am the fires, screaming at the people to stop what they're doing. I am so angry at humans, even though I am one, it makes me speechless.
I'm in BC as well... the fires are thankfully less severe this summer but it's tragic what's happening all over the world to be beautiful places. It is heartbreaking
@@billbauer9795 Maybe instead of giving just an insult, you could try constructive conversation? This person is showing nothing but appreciation for the natural world around them, a natural emotion anyone should be able to understand. If you disagree with anything, just talk about it. Insulting people isn't going to do anything, fix or change anything.
Привет! Твое видео затронуло меня до глубины души, так как я обожаю всю нашу землю и природу. И абсолютно с тобой согласна и поддерживаю тебя, это действительно печально, что делают с ресурсами земли..спасибо тебе за твои прекрасные сюжеты, что ты делишься такой красотой с нами, искренне радуюсь смотря твои видео! Обнимаю крепко, всем сердцем)))
Your videos have literally saved me from mental illness and addiction relapse. You are such an inspiration. Hearing you say you get depressed or sad is refreshing (because I think you’re perfect❤️) hearing you’re stories and your strength is so real and raw. I just love you thank you for being you!
Hey Lauren, I think it's perfectly perfect to feel depressed from time to time! That makes you just as perfect as Jonna 😊 It takes a 'robot' to not feel or not feel depressed. It takes a perfect human to FEEL. I love her videos too, learns me a lot about following the heart and to feel😊. Big hug for you!
This is so sad... i never comment but I follow you some years ago now. I love your videos. I live in Spain and everything is constructed, we are a lot of people living here, and there is not much of wild nature anymore... but the worst is the tourist massification, which is not very respectful, and it is itself very destructive... i rarely go to the coast because of that reason, it is completely lost... when I see your wonderful videos i am a bit jealous that you can still enjoy the nature around, but I feel so, so thankful to you that you share this secret place with the world, with me, in my little room. is one of the most generous act i have seen, sometimes I wish you are not doing them because i am afraid that people discover it and start to go there too...but i learnt a lesson with you, this is our planet, and it is for all of us to enjoy, but also to protect. All this years seeing your videos made me feel that those landscapes, those woods, the aurora borealis, also belongs to me, as a human being on this planet. I hope you all can stop that company. I already sign the petition. Big hug my dear sister in the north
This made me cry. When will humans respect the sacred world of nature, we are nature. When we hurt the tree's, the land, we hurt ourselves. I hope we can become better care takers to mother earth. So many things are happening. It is hard for those of us, that consider, the animals, tree's, rocks, water's to be our kin. Let us pray for an awakening. You are a kind soul~
When we reduce our population and own to the core of our souls we are integrated with and dependent on this wonderful Mothership and we need those trees.
I am arrested by how beautiful you are in so many ways. And I am deeply touched by your love of the forested lands around you and for the life you and Johan have carved out of your special place. I wish only the very best for both of you and your neighbors. You and Johan seem to me to be the real, modern vikings of love. You explore and you conquer all with your beautiful love and warmth. Thank you so much for bringing such beauty of your spirit and style to so many people around the world. May you two be safe, may you two be well, may you two be peaceful, may you two be happy!
Goodness this is terrible! Beautiful nature getting destroyed is just too sad, I'm emotional as well. Isn't there anything that can be done to keep the forrests? Sending you lots of love Jonna, hopefully there can be a compromise or anything to save just a fraction of forrest if the plans for the turbines come through.
En av anledningarna till att jag älskar att titta på dina videor är just din kärlek till vår svenska natur. Ibland så känns det som att många inte förstår hur vackert det faktiskt är. Jag sörjer verkligen med dig! Du ger mig så mycket inspiration! Drömmer om att kunna resa norrut och få uppleva en vacker vinter nån gång. Hoppas Grundtjärn står kvar som det är då. Massa styrkekramar till alla som bor i denna vackra ort! Skrev på namnlistan direkt!
@@gtboard Ja, det kan vara kallt i Sverige, men då är luften också väldigt torr så det känns inte kallt på ett negativt sätt, men man måste röra på sig. I stället blir det ju så vackert och snön knarrar. Det kan vara svårt att hantera en kamera med tjocka vantar.
Sending you so much love and light from New Hampshire in USA 🙏❤️🙏You’ve made my healing time from my hysterectomy (cancer- we got it all!) so much better. I’m also fighting Lyme disease and in a time where my whole world has been turned upside down and I felt so scared and sad you have offered me (and so many) such peace and comfort. Thank you for sharing your light in such a dark world, we are so lucky to know you 🧝🏻♀️✨🌬❄️
Oh my dear, I commented before the video finished and now I’m sobbing right along with Jonna. I love forests and trees and rocks and nature as deeply and to my core too, I have cried for so many fallen trees, and people have always told me I’m crazy or too sensitive. But honestly I would much rather be able to feel the power in the connection to nature and that deep, sacred knowledge that comes with communing with the natural forces and the sense of enlightenment that comes when you can feel yourself connected inextricably with the energies surrounding you- my heart is breaking for you Jonna and all those who are facing this. Have you been organizing? Any way to bring in an environmental agency to see if any endangered species might be affected? Or how about petitions/protests? I’m not sure how it works over there but here in the US sometimes those can work to protect the lands. Is there anything we can do to help? Write letters or call an office or something? I mean most of us don’t even live in the same country but if our voices mean anything I know 100% your devoted following would offer ourselves to your cause!! Thank you for sharing and telling us and please keep us updated and let us know if we can help. I am so so sorry for the loss of that wonderful forest, seeing you mourn those trees hit me hard as I’ve done the exact same thing. We see you 🙏 we support you ❤️ sending you even more love 🙌💕✨❄️
Dear Samantha I am sorry to hear about your illness and I am sending you Love and Light from England. I'm from South Africa, had to leave my home and loved ones for personal and health reasons. Be strong xxx
Ive read that this never happened and for this I am so grateful. Tho I am so sad about your forest (Ive had it happen to me too, so I feel your pain). Thank you for sharing all this with us... for sharing what's on your heart. The environment around you brings me so much joy. It makes my heart burst and Im so thankful that you are there to share it with us. You give me hope that there are more people like you out there... that one day we will begin to cherish and find balance again with nature and all see the limitless abundance and beauty of living like you do within it... with reverence. Bless you and yours always Jonna.
It breaks my heart. I live in a small city but every time when I see cut down the forest, I feel pain. Not only because of the forest, but it was home for so many animals and birds.
do not imagine how much i waited for your video... this is pure art... it's love... it transmits peace... and a lot of desire to live like you... hugs from Brazil.
I am watching these videos out of sequence and years later. You are truly a special and unique spirit. I am somewhat older and have seen many things vanish in the name of progress. In America the pace of life and emphasis on consumerism is overwhelming. I salute you and all kindred spirits for standing for what is truly of value. ❤
“Burn our furnitures” 😂 he’s lowkey but hilarious. Please tell him not to feel camera shy we love seeing him in the videos with you. You guys are like two puzzles that perfectly fit together ☺️🧩
Watching this broke my heart for you & your tiny community. The forest being cut down, made my tears flow with sadness & heartbreak. I realized how grateful I am to have witnessed these gifts that you have shared with us. The beauty you have captured in your photography & your film's. Your nature spirit energy, wheather your balancing rocks, calling & feeding your darling cow, or plunging yourself into freezing water. Every video has brought us closer to your vision, the balance with nature & how it shapes & molds your/our lives. The forests energy that you tapped into will always hold the magic & songs that you created inside its sacred room. Thank You Jonna, truly so many of us "viewers" have been blessed by your incredible journey. For us, your videos are like therapy for the soul. Lots of Love & (((Hugs))).
You have two hundred and ninety two thousand subscribers each of those subscribers are in love with your forest too figure out what we can do to help and we will sign a petition. I don’t even live there but I have so much love for beautiful nature the world doesn’t need more wind turbines it needs forest that is alive and well. Let us know what we can do to help
I totally felt your heartbreak. I live in a crowed, air polluted, noise polluted, light polluted area. I can only enjoy the peace you feel where you live through you. Your videos give me hope and a goal to find my happy place surrounded by nature. I hope there will still be some left.
This breaks my heart💔I cried with you when I saw the forest cut down. I'm from Canada, Vancouver BC and we have this very same problem here. It is so sad the destruction of our beautiful forests. Send you hugs💗🙏💗
The forest part absolutely made me cried.. I know that feeling. Some people perhaps will lift their brows up, but for one thing, it feels an absolute sorrow to have a place you loved so much be gone. It is not the same anymore.
I'm sending you a huge hug and I wish we could do something to help. :( I hope everything will turn out okay and that they get denied for the wind turbines and I'll keep positive thinking. The rock scene broke my heart... I can't believe people can be cruel and just cut down an entire forest... It hurts :( Huge hugs from Portugal
I'm new to your vlogs but i love your spirit. This one was difficult to watch but i realized (after drying my eyes) that perhaps the universe or fate or whatever you choose to call it, brought YOU to this forest and others in their last days for a reason. Sadly, they may be gone BUT because of YOUR videos and photography they are not forgotten. You memorialized the beauty of these ancient places that i personally would never have seen if it weren't for you. Thank you for sharing this. Much love from a small town in Arkansas, USA
I cried so badly when I heard that forest was cut down and with the lodges piling up. Can definitely share the deep sadness. I live in very dense city and very rare I can see forest, but they mean so much to me. Feel that part of me is gone. I am struggling with something too and very glad to hear Jonna said 'let's continue with the flow, everything will be ok.' Love you a lot, Jonna. Your vidoes give me peace as always.
I am from North-eastern India and I can remember how my childhood was spent wondering amidst lush green nature, and at night, staring at the skyline. In 4th standard, I visited my adjoining state of Meghalaya, and was overwhelmed with the beauty of the Eastern Himalayan range, its narrow spiral roads, and the pine trees. 18 years later, when I revisited the state, it saddened me ,because now the roads were wide, but forests narrower ; more houses and buildings but less of thrill and clear sky. Swedish people, please prove the power of people's opinion!
Que tremendo querida,sabes, cuando te veía feliz caminando o saltando en los bosques siempre sentí que eras como una NINFA DE LOS BOSQUES y ahora que muestras esta faceta tuya veo que eres toda una GUARDIANA de la naturaleza, con qué claridad hablas de la inconsciencia a la que ha llegado el hombre en su ambición ciega en que nada le importa ya, que triste de verdad, lamentablemente es algo muy difícil de revertir pero no importa, los que tenemos otra manera de vivir, tenemos que mantenernos en nuestros valores. Un abrazo grande grande para ti y tu familia, muchas bendiciones
I'm so sorry this is happening. I used to think the Swedish government was so progressive and forward thinking, how can they let this happen?! It's not quite the same thing you're going through, but I remember feeling this way when I was a younger girl here in Ohio. All the farms and open land, streams, and ponds, where I used to ride my horses were all razed and subdivisions went in over every available inch. Land that I used to throw my head back, drop my reins and fly with my horse.....it's all gone now. All my friends and their horses that I used to ride with moved away to other farms. It was such a loss and was depressing, now when I drive through these built up suburban areas that same sense of sadness comes to me....it never really goes away unfortunately.
Sadly many governments with progressive facade are not willing to stay true to the ideals they preach. While talking about equality and pacifism with great eloquence Obama licensed thousands of drone strikes all across the middle east, with many innocents killed besides the intended targets and a lot of rage and hate built up that will lead into the next generation of terrorism. While talking about respect for nature Trudeau continued energy politics oriented towards fossil fuels in Canada, damaging the environment more than ever. Same thing now in this case.
Tears are streaming down my face...for you and for the trees that were alive, born of Mother Nature, and I cry for her as well. Human ignorance! What have they done?!
Oh Jonna 💔 I am so sorry! If there is anything we can do, let us know! Fingers crossed that the good will always win! 💑 Edit: wow, the scene of the rock back then and now, broke my heart 💔
I found this video just at exact time - just a few days ago I also discovered that one of my precious forests here in Sweden was gone... I cried so much and felt the energy of taken down trees... and you Jonna put all my feelings into words. I feel you so much!!!And I totally relate to your love and connection to nature. Much love! ♥
Man. I cried. I’m mourning a forest I have never even set a foot into. It’s so hard to be a good person. I am actually from Germany. And it always made me feel good to know that I made the effort to look for a “better” electricity and gas provider. One that only uses “eco electricity” from “alternative energy sources” and also doesn’t use their profits to support atomic or coal energy, but instead uses it to plant trees or invest into new alternative sources. But seeing this video made me realise that there is no good solution. Even wind energy means cutting down forests to build the wind turbine fields there. I’ve seen them in the Baltic Sea. It looks ugly and is really loud. Especially for animals, both under water and in the air. What’s the alternative? I’m sitting here with my phone in my hand, with lights and my heater on. What’s the alternative? I want to save the world, but I also don’t think we can all move to a forest to save the world. It sucks. It’s hard to be a good person. And it’s sad that we humans hurt the environment so much. Thanks for the nice videos you make and the important message you share with them ❤️ Love from Berlin
Why do people never talk about the cultivation of algae? It is copying nature´s own method of catching the solar energy and then transforming it into both oil, "gasoline" and food. And the algae cultivation eats CO2 (if people are interested in that). This is written in Swedish, but the videos in the article are in English. energiproblem.blogspot.com/2018/03/nar-vindsnurrorna-rostat.html
I totally understand you Dajana :) maybe a solution is to change our way of life.... we really don't need to consume as much as we do ... but i get you it is hard to change our habits ...
Oh wow, Jonna....hi, I’m Ellie and I live in Romania, a few thousands km “underneath” you on the map. Thank you for telling us these things, It’s wonderful to see a real example of the impact the industries have on human lives and on nature and wildlife... I felt every bit of it with you and it brought me closer to all of these issues....you live so pure and it’s something I yearn for too...I try to go to parks and look at the night sky but I feel so far away from those things I want to see. The way you live is something I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl and every-time I see one of your videos I feel like I live a little bit through you, my mind goes to those silent amazing places and it rests...thank you. I feel for you, and I really hope the wind turbines are put somewhere else😞 I’ll be thinking of you. I’m so sad about the forest as well and those scenes where you show how they were and how they are now broke my heart😞...But we’re right, humankind has many faults and we just have to accept we don’t have control over everything that happens to us...I’m struggling with that as well..we keep going though and find the beautiful things that we have❤️ keep us updated!🌲
Dearest, Jonna. This is your most important video ever posted and I wished you had said something sooner. You ARE the voice of nature and so are all of your followers and others who have yet to discover you. Together and from all parts of the world we can fight this. I will sign the petition noted below but there is more that can be done. Turn this video into a PSA, a Public Service Announcement. Create a shorter edit and post on all media formats including a link to the change.org petition below. There should be a Swedish version of what we call in America an Environmental Impact Statement. It is a legal report on how the wind turbines would change and impact the environment forever. Check the company's website as this should be available to the public. That report alone should prove enough negative impact to litigate action against the company in court. Surely there are environmental groups in Sweden that will support this kind of litigation, provide funding and do what must be done. This is not just about Sweden. Changes to pristine nature affects all of us around the world. You are not alone.
I agree, I think this is her most important video too. She expressed herself extremely well, it's perfect. If she cut out the start of the video which was unrelated, and possibly shortened the main bit ever so slightly I can see this video making a huge impact.
This video had me crying because I understand 100% how you were feeling in this video. This past summer the US forest service did a control burn in one of my favorite forests, it got out of control and burned over 600,000 acres. This area will never be the same. I’ve cried like you for the loss of the trees and wildlife here.
Sad thing is I think that they are letting to many fires get out of control for selfish reasons. 😪 They also want to push forest dwellers out and force everyone into designated and over populated areas where people just live on top of each other and there's so much land if we spread out. But big corporations are greedy.
After watching this video, I have grown speechless. It is truly frightening to see what can happen between now and the future. Nonetheless, in the face of all the circumstances, you still manage to pull through and stay strong. That to me, is truly inspiring. I live in the suburbs here in the northern part of NJ, so I am quite used to the city life. That said, I still appreciate the beauty of our state parks and reserves as it is the one place where I can find some solitude from everything else. Being with my girlfriend has also made me appreciate nature and the small things even more than ever before. Honestly, it really bothers me when some people can't even see the value that nature has to offer. There was no way I could continue going about my day without signing the petition. I just want you to know, your vlogs are so inspiring, it made me want to start my own RUclips channel. Why? Because of your warm heart and personality. I have encountered many vloggers on RUclips who are quite awesome and good at what they do. However, there is something so unique and special about your channel, that it makes me want to fly to Sweden and experience it all for myself. I just want to surround myself with literally everything I ever dreamed of. If you do get a chance to see this post, just know that your message was heard, loud and clear, and that you definitely have our support! Much love to you, Johan, your cute doggo and cow, and to the village! :)
Ok....I'm speechless right now. I could never imagine that so many of you would see the whole video and feel so much with me. I want to thank you with all my heart for listening and for taking your time to watch it and write and share your feelings. This just...warms my heart so soooo much.
And I saw now that someone started a petition for this. WOW!! You can find the link here: www.change.org/p/berit-h%C3%B6gman-don-t-build-wind-turbines-in-grundtj%C3%A4rn
Thank you. Thank you!!! THANK YOU!!! ❤️🙏🏻
Jonna Jinton we don’t want that company to destroy nature 🙏🏾 help us support you 🙏🏾
Thank you too..from my deep heart..my part from my hiding soul! God bless your life ..with everything what you have!♥
We are always with you Jonna. There are so many of us who are so connected to Nature that we can feel your pain. We pray that your Paradise doesn't get stolen from you and your beautiful community. Stay strong and hope you can find a strong way to stop this from happening. Dont stress too much in the process and please do take care of your health. Lots of love from India ❤❤
If the forest is gone it is going to be a sad Christmas and new year😭 we are already loosing many forests 😭I don’t want to loose what is left for greedy entrepreneurs. You should try get support from city people because they can make a revolution and stop this project.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jonna send this video. Send this video with you talking to camera, just the bit you telling us. Send it to the papers. Send it to huffing ton post in America. Send it to every high powered contact you have. Show them your channel. Believe. Maybe you are there to save the land. Don't give up. Don't think you don't have enough power. The power of your heart can move mountains. Fight for your trees girl. Fight for your lake, send this video to anyone you can think of who is in the media. Get on the radio stations. You are stronger than you think. Hold the vision of your dream home in your heart. Root. Ground. Drive your staff into the ground and call the wild with your kiln ing. It's time to draw on your spiritual and nature powers. You arrived 7 years ago for a reason. You can do this, if you believe. Nature healed you, now it's your turn. Time to draw on earth power, DM me if you want to talk this through. Believe with your whole heart, you are more powerful than you think. It's time to call forth the forest powers, the northern light powers. Create a kulning and release it with every strength you have. We will all hold the vision for that gorgeous place to remain untouched. We have all been healed by that place. Call forth the forest girl. The unseen power of the earth is stronger than that company. Like you said, it's not about you, it's about nature. Do it for your nature family. We will all hold the vision for you and the forest and the animals xx
Julie P I believe too this is a great way to get the message across you captured it perfectly and for the time I truly understand there can be a chance
Julie P , Jonna seriously anyway I can help I will, but this documentation is beautiful and needs to be herd by all
"Believe. Maybe you are there to save the land. Don't give up. Don't think you don't have enough power. The power of your heart can move mountains."
This made me cry. Such beautiful words, and so true. I'm sending all my love and belief to help out on this ♥
Julie P Thank you. So much love. I first watched this video 12 hours ago and have been crying much of the day. Jonna has touched so many of us so deeply. Your words are powerful: I had to come back and find them, which, believe me, took a lot of scrolling! May we all somehow take strength. Drive your staff into the ground. Yes.
This video along with your comment made me cry - this is the truth! There are some of us that remember nature is our soul, every inch of nature destroyed is a bullet to our hearts. It's time to remind everyone, then maybe we can create a beautiful society for everyone
”When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money.”
So true....
No, don't say "we". How can we all (normal citizens) change the the mind of the big powerful corporations with thousands of dollars / euros??? Life, nature, animals... The EARTH is much more valuable than money. How do we stop their selfish "money" abusive mentallity???! - yes, we manifest, yes, we say it on the internet! ... But they do not listen :(
Native American quote that
@@Islacyan I completely understand how you feel.The world is very backwards and corrupt, but we just have to remember to be conscious and try to be as independent and sustainable as we possibly can, because we do vote with our dollars.
@@Islacyan that is all we can do...we have to come together, because our entire planet and everything that even makes it worth being here is at stake.
"Losing a forest is like losing a friend", that made me cry.
i'm crying too
I am currently studying energy engineering for my master's degree and have completed modules focused on renewable energy, wind turbines included. As part of the studies we are taught the physics, sustainability (economic, environmental and social), the benefits and impacts of wind turbines, how to implement them and why. My goal all along was to be involved in the renewable energy transition for the good of the environment and human health (when compared to our current fossil fuel addiction).
What bothered me is that we are taught about NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard), where local people are seen to obstruct projects against what is perceived to be the greater good, and that local people are an obstacle that is to be navigated for the benefit of society as a whole. To me it feels as though we are all taught, Wind turbines are better for the environment than fossil fuels, can be very profitable and serve society as a whole, so they are therefore the best solution to most problems.
I want to thank you for highlighting what real people in these situations actually feel and the impact that this energy transition is having on real people, you have given me a real moment of pause. I got to see many of your videos first and so have fallen in love with the nature that you live in, now I am also upset that your home could be destroyed, seems hypocritical for me to want to help fix nature by destroying nature.
Videos like this need to be seen, otherwise budding engineers such as myself could end up with the wrong impression that what they are doing is always the right thing to do, yes wind turbines have their place in solving the climate change crisis and I stand by that, but it does not have to be there. This is what happens when business and profit takes over, and real people and nature are cast aside.
I have signed the petition and support you.
You're mad Lee! It is the real impact on about 10 people! Ten people cannot and should not stop progress! Much better to focus environmental efforts in Brazil, Indonesia etc
@@tahac805 I'll say it: I dont agree with you. hear me out.
I am a city person on the other side of the world from where Jonna lives. But her videos connect us together. I would never have even known she exists with out her videos. I recently found this channel but I can tell she is genuine, and wonderful. This video was hard to watch because I could feel her pain. Did you not?
You say they should continue with the project because its "only 10 people". I say you are wrong. Now imagine one of those people was you. It was your family and closest friends. Would you want to live in constant fear of if you can even survive?
What if an oil company comes to you tomorrow and says "we found an oil deposit under your house. you and your entire neighborhood have to leave"? Would you let them because its "only a neighborhood"? Only 10-20 people would have to leave. No big deal right?
I don't think youd just leave. After all, it's your house. It's where you live. Would you give that up?
Like she said, she lives there for only one reason and this would tear it away from her. Would you be able to live if the one biggest thing you care about was torn away from you? I know I wouldnt be able to
All I ask is you think about this and have a good day :)
Wind is a very ineffective energy. It takes tons of turbines to produce enough energy for one city. Nuclear is by far the best energy source, and extremely safe as long as it is well maintained.
@@pvic6959 This whole story would be so emotional if, for example, Sweden was not selling weapons and in fact dropping bombs around the world with the Americans, on schools hospitals etc. But no, all this chick wants is to make snow videos and to be left alone
For the rest of your career and life think long and hard about what you just wrote "fix nature by destroying nature"
Your anger is our anger. Your sadness is our sadness. Your loss is our loss.
Your hope is our hope .
Beautiful words 💜
We can let these emotions go and move more and more into positive emotions that will set us free from entrapment.
Stay strong
My wife and I just finished watching your video, Jonna. It brought tears to our eyes. We know what you and Johan are going through. We live in Northern Maine, which is almost identical in climate to where you live. We purchased some land in an area called "Mount Chase". We found out that a company from Canada bought nearly 7,000 acres of land, including one of our mountains. They intend to start drilling into the mountain, and using TOXIC chemicals to mine the ore! This isn't even legal, but they are giving money to local government officials, to look the other way.
We also deal with the logging industry here. The biggest company is called "Irving", and they love to come into an area and saw down every tree, and wreck the land with their heavy equipment. Then they spray an Herbicide (glyphosate) onto what is left of the forest, so that it kills most of the plants except for the trees which they replant. This has caused the death of much of the wildlife here.
Please fight this wind turbine industry. We have some of them in our area, here in Northern Maine. We will be praying for you and Johan to make the right decision.
husky394xp Same thing happend to my father here in northern sweden. The company ended up destroying my dads land and destroyed the lakes. Then the company went down and left destroyed property for the state to take care of. This all happend 12-13 years ago and they still haven't fixed it.
I'm from Northern Maine 💕 It is a beautiful place. It's so sad that people kill the land. My heart goes out to you as well.
Im so sorry... Look up the term Solastolgia it will connect to you.
It seems companies from Canada buy all around the world mines and forests and they ruin everything. In Romania they bought a lot of land and they just cut everything. It's so sad and nobody reacts.
@@ambitiousslacker They ruin our forests in Canada too unfortunately! It makes me so mad!
This is REAL environmental activism. I’m stunned, touched at the power in ONE VOICE. Thanks to Jonna for her authenticity. It gives me hope.
This video broke my heart... When you were sitting on that rock, and the trees weren't there anymore, I actually cried... I'm so saddened that humans can't see the value of these forest and can't feel how alive they are! I guess rare people like us can see it and feel it. Your photography, and videography captures he energy of these forests! Right now i live in a small town, but one day i want to be immersed in nature like you. Until that day, i will just keep watching your videos, and feel the infinite wisdom of nature through your videos.. Thank you so much for your work. You have a beautiful heart ❤️ Much love from Calabria, Italy.
"When you were sitting on that rock, and the trees weren't there anymore, I actually cried."
Intellectually you understand what she is talking about. The change, the loss, the uncertainty. But that juxtaposition from past to present takes it to emotional levels immediately.
Same here. Bought tears to my eyes and heart.
me too, I'm sitting in the cafeteria at my Uni, crying..
The forests need to be cut down now and then for the owners to make any money on their investment. It will be back again in 50-100 years or so. More than half of Sweden is covered in forests that are used to produce wood.
Sadie & P. They should try move to "masuria" a region in north poland.
Same like sweden but warmer
I am here for everything she is protesting for. I can not stand these big companies killing these beautiful forests. I am from Jamaica and I grew up in a village kinda the same like your but was very close to the ocean, and they wanted to build a big hotel on the sea side and unfortunately it went through, I lost my house, my farm, the nature I grew up in and everything, so I know how you feel. I wish I could give you a big hug!❤️
Oh my...I am so very sorry for your losses
Anita Sewell
Sorry also for your losses.
Im really sorry :(
Sorry to hear that. What can you do ? Hello from Colorado
My heart breaks for you
One person can change the world. Maybe you are the person who saved the Sweedish lapland. Don't give up, do what you can, go as far as you can, share your cause ❤
Enter Greta Thunberg......
@sillybillybadboy I am sorry to say (because I truly liked Jonna) but at this point I suspect she doesn't care about anything but herself. Her image of "connecting with nature" is for profit at a level where it becomes sickening. Unless, of course, her depression is related to her denying what she know in her heart and head is the truth. But I could not hear one single reflection in that direction. Makes me sad, but I am willing to give her one more chance. I expect that she is going to make a follow-up video, then we will know if she have some "deeper" reflections, or if she is just another fraud.
@Anton Zuykov Who is your boss. On who's payroll are you, ZUYKOV?
@@cynthiafry4689 Greta is a shill.
I know your video is already three years old. Still wanted to say, there is also another person in this world, who feels sad, when the favorite forest is gone. I love to be in the forest with my dog and also I also have favorite forest. This year I also made the experience , my favorite forest was gone. I felt sad, but somehow I thought... common! Don't be sad, because of a lost part of a forest. but actually I was right... it is a reason to be sad. You reminded me again of it, because you shared your feelings. Thank u !
I literally have tears in my eyes from the pictures of before and after the forest was cut down of you sitting on the rock. Mankind is just so disgusting.
Bella Donna
It’s not only In Schweden..., I think it’s all over the world that the governments are not doing there “jobs” vor the ordinary people ans nature. They are working for the people with big money 💰, who want full control the people. They destroy that what is good and beautiful. Good alternative solutions they ignore, when they lose some power and control the humanity.
The Bible dit give us perspectives why. And also that Gott don’t let this destruktive management for ever.
Until this time we must “accept” this System with many evil elements.
Blue Cat this is a massive wake-up call. I had no idea. I too have tears in my eyes. The before/after was like a funeral. Maybe we can all use less energy. We can all say no to having super warm homes in winter. We can all use less. It’s honestly disturbing.
Same here.....tears rolled down...I feel you....
Blue Cat no - some mankind THERE is disgusting
Die vierte Wache but we are discussing SWEDEN
You spoke long but not one second too much. Not one second. I started crying when you spoke of your happiness in the spring, knowing some bad news was gonna come. I felt what was good was gonna be taken away. And I cried with you. My children came to ask why I cry and I could only say I feel this woman so deeply. What is done to her and the nature is so wrong words fail to express it. You represent the pureness in all of us. When it is crushed, not appreciated, we are all in danger. This is the way of life, the way of the world today. Too often we hear this same story. I cry with you our angel. I pray the nature wins, there is still time to see a change in the course. Love from Fnland.
This was the most important video you have ever made 💔 Thank you.
I was up 3 hours at night, woke up to think about this. An idea came to me. Maybe it is already in some of these 3000+ comments you have received :) We/world really do care for your cause! So the idea. There are funds and stiftelsen that buy and protect precious land. Your videos show yours is such. Have someone check what these instances are in Sweden, both private and public. If you contact and appeal to the public instance that protects forests that have special value, maybe they feel for this cause in their heart and protect the forest for future generations. Everything is possible. And you are a public figure in Sweden so they might use this case to improve their public profile as "good guys". Here is a snippet of a private organisation that operates in Finland. If you guys need private money to buy the land, I am sure a GoFundMe project would get enough funds. I would love to own a piece of that precious land. "Stiftelsen för naturarvet är en privat stiftelse vars syfte är att skydda gamla skogar. Den grundades år 1995. Stiftelsen använder donerade medel till att köpa gamla skogar som står i så naturligt tillstånd som möjligt och ansöker om permanent fridlysning av sina skogar enligt naturskyddslagen. Söder om Lapplands län har man skyddat gamla skogar väldigt litet - mindre än två procent av den produktiva skogsarealen. Därför strävar stiftelsen efter att köpa skogar framför allt i landets södra och mellersta delar. Stiftelsen för naturarvet äger 58 skyddsområden. Skogarnas sammanlagda areal är ungefär 1300 hektar.
preserve to survive but also develop to survive because preserving in this way will expose us not to survive
Jonna, I'm writing my PhD about exactly this topic - the lie of sustainability being used to build wind farms in nature reserves, and the impact this has on Sami and other people living in the area. My research is in Norway, but the topic is the same. I'm so sorry you've been dealt this hand and I feel your pain. I can see that you managed to fight this wind farm, which is very inspiring and gives me hope that my research can also help people in Norway win their fights.
Hi, I am also doing a phd on the topic. I am very conflicted about this topic, I am not sure what alternatives to fossil fuels might there be if not wind and solar. What is your take? I feel like we need clean energy but not at the cost of deforestation, bird killing, etc.
@@richardk6043 True. If you don't pollute one medium (air, soil, water, landscape), you end up polluting another medium... But we can't live without electric power nowadays. And what I love about this couple, Jonna and Johan, is that they're not radical ecologists. They still use an internal-combustion engine in their car and all new technologies and devices produced in very polluting factories. Which means that we can't give up everything and live as some Amish communities, so we need to produce more and more power...
@@richardk6043 I agree. But I didn't know about chill climates impact on battery life. Are you sure about that? I thought that chill climates cooled the batteries and improved their efficiency and life.
Internal-combustion engines also work better in chill climates because air density is higher and they're able to output more power (or the same power with a lower fuel consumption).
BTW, do you know that many electric vehicles are being sold in Norway (not so many in Sweden, I reckon)? It's like a paradox because Norway is an important oil producer.
@@richardk6043 Thank you. Got it. Here in Spain a lot of wind and solars farms are currently being built, although we're still buying energy from France nuclear plants.
In the 70s and 80s there were ambitious plans to develop nuclear power in Spain, but they were stopped (to put a brake on Spain development, maybe?) and consumers had to return the investment wasted through their electric bills, ridiculous it may seem...
@@richardk6043 so right. our world is a bit messed up and we need to take some action :)
Everywhere the same, where is nature, they destroy it. I feel the same like you for my home. I ive in Germany and we had Beautiful woods, but they destroyed it in a few days for highways. Our drinking water will be poisoned and the nature died. My home is not anymore my home.
I'm feeling the same way. I also live in Germany. I come from an area where there are really beautiful forests and fields. But they are all bought up and everything is built on. It doesn't feel like Home anymore
They destoy nature, it is by design so we get used to a ugly concrete world. It’s sad
@@adamfidelio1213 Concrete is awful. At least it's not ethernal and nature will end up taking its room back.
@@sudo3870 Of course, it's the people's fault. Because they always want more and are not satisfied with what they have.
@@sudo3870 Who is to blame? A poor person needing work in the countryside or a big corporation like IKEA that sells cheap furniture to city dwellers?
Our problem is that these corporate people always get away with destruction.
The forest of my heart has been cut down too. Last week I went for a walk, I felt happy because it was the first time in a very long moment, and then, it was just gone. The fairy's path, the land of the skies, the mushrooms circle - all disappeared. I stopped breathing for a moment. People don't realize how painful it is to lose a place that we loved so much. Peculiarly a place like a forest, where we know that we were not alone because we could hear the spirits and the whispers of the trees, and the animals, as we know that they were watching us. That all of this was their home. It feels like losing a part of our heart.
Send you love Jonna, more than ever. ❤🍂🦕🌙🌲🌲
I resonate with you...
It's so hard when people were so blind and deaf to the sounds of nature... And cannot feel that connection in their hearts... it's so so painful...
Same here, my favorite part of a forest near my town was cut down and I had no Idea when i went for a walk some weeks ago. When I saw what happened I also stopped breathing for a while and burst into tears. It felt like a graveyard and I took some time to meditate and mourn the beautiful trees and thanked them for their beauty and wonderful energy. It is so heart breaking and I feel Jonna and cried with her.
Bruit de Pluie I feel so heart broken to hear this💔why do people don’t realise the importance of forest. I lost hope to live in this planet filled with greedy people😭
Bruit de Pluie I am so emotional right now😢so nicely said!....it is hard, because I know that it is happening everyday and we try to build universities to cure cancer or depression, but all we truly need is nature....💗
Mari-Liis Aimla well said. That is true.the more we detach from nature we fall sick. Nature is mother and mother will take care of everything
Jonna, you have more power than you realize. You can and you must fight this! Gather support from your fans in Sweden, and have them gather others as well, then come to the meeting in January with a HUGE following so that the politicians have to listen. Give them a speech during that meeting, show them what the forest used to be and still can be, and protest, protest, protest.
Through RUclips you make your voice heard. Let it be heard.
I love how she makes the cold look so warm ... I also love her energy
well said, Bella, i have the same feeling!
I just love her ❤️
Can someone explain why we never see Jonna's breath in the cold winter air?
You crying in front of the chopped down trees broke my heart. God bless you Jonna
My heart goes out to you from Canada
I live in a city that use to be known as "The Forest City" but many of the forests and green spaces have been stripped away to build houses and road and companies.
I grew up in those forests, they were my safe places. I could be free but now my home town feels more and more dystopian and the people seem to be more depressed and withdrawn.
it breaks my heart, we need to protect nature, it gives us so much
The picture of the forest, Before-After. 😢😢 So Sad.I cried so hard. The big stone you used to sit on it😢😢
Sahar Rokni wow....🥺
Same. It really hit me 😔
ughh same.
Sorry. Where can i find the pictures?
Sad yes, but no untouched forest looks like that. Most if not all the trees in the shoot have been replanted at some point. About some 50+ (depending on the climatezone) odd years and they will cut them again. She is walking in modern forest not an ancient and untouched wilderness. It's a cycle of planting and cutting and roughly about 9% of Sweden's forests are protected areas and have a more or less guaranteed natural cycle of life by law. Yep that's just boring me, but man those are beautiful shots of nature and the sad contrasts of industry..
I grew up in a small village in Russia, and it was magical, clean waters, purest air. In a last few years the wind directions have changed and now a lot of smoke from the city factories goes there. And the mines drain something into the rivers as well. So the water is nearly brown and the air is not that pure anymore. This video made me cry hard...
You are such a precious soul. I read in the comments that the wind turbine project never happened. Thank god, I am so relieved for all of you living there. Lots of love.
This is important. It's the epitome of what is happening to our planet right now - it's ridiculous, the whole point of green energy should be the slowing down of the destruction of our planet but even that endeavor has been utterly corrupted by greed. Thank you so much for sharing, Jonna - you are connecting reality with people out there and what you do has such a huge impact. Really seeing what is happening is entirely different from hearing faraway stories without connection to our personal lives, it makes it nearly impossible to ignore. My heart is weeping with you and I sincerely hope things will turn around. If there is a petition or anything like that we as your audience can sign, please, please share! We want to help.
I don't think any of us could say it better than that. I absolutely hate and feel sick to my stomach aswell as angry that even the pure hope and effort to help slow the decline of our planet's ecosystems and nature has been utterly corrupted by greed and politics just as you put it. Preach 🙏🏻
it's not about greed. It's about overpopulation. We need so much resources to live on the planet. Solution, decrease population like %90.
So, you're suggesting mass-murder? Who gets to decide who
should live and who should die?
No it's not about overpopulation. Living in the north of Sweden I know there is plenty of space and resources. Do we really NEED that much resources to live? No, we don't - we're just spoiling ourselves. Overpopulation is a myth. Greed, however, and the Swedish 'Norrland-is-a-colony-for-exploitation' mentality are very real. All the best!
@@TheTralalalala90 of course it's easier to support a smaller population than a bigger one without putting a strain on the environment. That's not a myth, it's logic.
Of course mass murder is not a solution, but encouraging people to not breed like fucking rabbits might be a good start
Evil Cactus there was a post about this.
And it can be proven with simple math.
That if you took every person on this planet 🌎 and moved them all to the USA state of Texas. They would each have 1,300 square feet to themselves.
Now granted, no one is truly advocating this. But it does prove that overpopulation is a myth propagated by the mass media.
But overconsumption is the real problem.
Most of us take, and above all waste too much of everything.
The sequence showing you sitting on the rock with (and then without) the tree is one of the saddest things I've seen in ages.
Jonna, I too cried for your beloved forest. There is so much that doesn’t make sense. I am in Australia & have been dedicated to finding solutions for how to live more sustainably on the Earth for many years. In my searching I went to university & studied Health & Environment, I worked for mining oil & gas companies as a Health Specialist, I travelled Australia for 2 years catching camels from the wild as a form of sustainable transportation, and then I worked for local government as an Environmental Officer. My whole journey led me to waste. The solution I found is in our hands. Waste Reduction. By individually reducing single use packaging less trees get cut down, less power is needed, less mines start up. Gosh, I have so much to say on this & it’s also hard to find the words. I too cry for the Earth, rejoice with the Earth & pray that humanity wakes up. I’m at the beginning of my journey of blogging/vlogging, but I too hope to have an impact like you. Thank you for your beautiful heart. Thank you for your beautiful message. Thank you for sharing your life & feelings with us. You are such a shining light & inspiration. I hope we can turn the tides so future generations can celebrate & be connected with the beautiful nature provided by the Earth. Sending you so much love. Thank you for all that you do. Karla xxxx
I'm from Germany living in a big city, in Hamburg to be precise and I feel so bad about all of this. I'm so happy and relieved that everything turned out fine and I promise I will do everything possible to take part of saving Swedens beautiful nature! Its a special and magical place that has to be saved!
I am crying for you but mostly I am crying for this land. Bless you for connecting us to this nature through your videos. I believe you have touched so many of our hearts that maybe our sorrow and hope combined as a prayer for the land can change this outcome possibly. So with these tears I am shedding I create a prayer for the nature and animals. And all of us watching I am sure feel the same. Thanks you for sharing your heart with us. You touch on such a deep level through this platform. ❤️🙏🏻
I couldn’t even respond to this at first. I took my dogs for a walk and cried. I grew up in a forest and know it as family. I know your feelings about this all too well. My last house was the first in a neighborhood being built in a forest, so I had to hear the death of the trees all around as other houses were built. It was the most painful thing. I had to move from that house to have a place for my horses but sold to people I knew, so I thought what I had preserved in my space there was safe. I had to return to get mail not long after and was invited inside. When I looked out the back windows to the forest I had left standing as it was without touching it, I saw all the trees chopped off to stumps. They were clearing to put in a pool. I got sick. I left immediately and cried all the way home. Not long after, I went to a yoga retreat and in one of the meditations, she told us to enter and merge with our favorite tree. I knew exactly which one, one from my old house that had been like a wise teacher and a source of comfort for me. Even though she was now gone, I chose her. It took forever, but I was able to finally blend with her. I heard the most loving, older woman’s voice say to me, “Be to others what I have been to you.” Your videos are doing just that. You’re being this loving, wise, comforting presence in the world. You’re being the spirit of the forest. My heart is broken over the forests there. The picture of the sweet, wise beings piled and numbered was almost too much. I can imagine your pain. You’re doing such great work in sharing this message. Maybe the people who don’t understand our connection with the forest can have a glimpse into it’s spirit and presence by seeing the beautiful before pictures and the horrifying after pictures. I’m sending so much energy of healing for the place and for you. I hope more than anything that the wind farm doesn’t go through and that you have answers soon. Much love to you! Keep up your beautiful work!

The way your cow recognized you and ran towards you brought tears and a smile to my face. 😀
As I was listening & watching your tears I asked myself "Why dont we all grieve when our planet is destroyed?" And then I began to cry uncontrollably. Thank u for this wake up call. U are beautiful inside & out 💗
Right there with you...
I hope your community wins over the corporate business! Prayers to everyone.
philip trevor I believe you are exactly right. Especially when this is being done by the "masters" who rule over germany. This is awful. I'm in america but my ancestors came from norway/sweden. 😔
I really cried so hard after looking at the forest cut down. We humans are our own enemies and a disgrace to all the life on Earth. Thanks Jonna for letting us know about this. You've done your bit and I hope that you find another forest. I know that nothing can replace the memories you've had but as you said let's stay strong, follow the flow

May the rural scholarship you got continue to propel positive change against the destruction we are causing to Mother Earth. Let's start this healing. ❤️
jonna i know it sounds silly but I really think you have the ability to lead the change the world needs right now. A lot of others feel as hopeless as you do right now and I cant tell you how much it comforts me to hear that someone else cares as much as I do. Nothing else in this world matters if we lose the nature that our humanity grows from. We are not seperate from the nature we are destroying, but most people seem to have forgotten that. I really believe that you, and this community, can make a hell of a big difference.
There might be bigger problems in the world but big industries moving into sacred lands and killing the forests is the most important thing we people should be concerned about. My heart breaks for you and your village. Your corner of this world has always tugged at my heart. Seeing you climb that big stone and kiss that tree stump just broke my heart hun. I feel you will go on to explore new forests and your videos will continue to light up the lives of all your fans. I burn blessings on every full and new moon and I will continue to add you to all these blessings. Your plight is the worlds plight and we need to win this, so I thank you for bringing our attention to this as the mainstream media keeps these sickening stories from us here in the US. Stay strong and in your truth. We love you.
Dear Jonna,
I live in Australia and when I was a little girl there used to be this road through a rainforest that I drove through quite often with my family. It was so magical. One day we drove along and to my horror the entire forest was gone, cut down to make way for a big, ugly highway (or perhaps you call it a motorway). I cried and cried and cried. I thought the people who did this were evil! Now I am an adult and I have heard recently another area in my hometown is to be cleared to make way for houses. The government doesn't care that the koalas live there, or that the trees are so old and tall. Again I have felt the same pain and anger. I cried when I saw that forest in your video gone! For two reasons though, a) because your forest should be there forever and should never be cut down, but also b) because it is so nice to see another human care so much about the earth. For some reason it is so comforting to know there is someone else who feels the same way I do. Thank you so much for being yourself. I know that place where you live, it loves you. x x x
I started crying when you talked about the forest. I didn't even realize it at first but suddenly I had tears streaming down my face. There is something so special about places like that; and when they're gone it is just like you said, "it is a sorrow."
A tree is like a friend. We all should love them. They give us life. This should not happen. What the hell is wrong with us humans?!
It depends. In some parts of the world trees can be woody weeds.
It's nothing wrong with us... It's with the 1% of the psicopaths that rule the world
It's easier to realize they aren't human.
Monica Campos Why be surprised? People are killing eachother and even kill their own unborn babies. Why would they have a care about killing trees?
What do you mean humans? Don't assume everyone you meet is human.
I live in New Zealand we have greenpeace they try to fight . But now all the water is polluted from to many cows and deforestation. The people dont want any of it and its killing our land . My children cannot swim in the beaches and rivers our water is not safe to drink anymore without processing . I read all the comments and it seams we are all globaly mourning the loss of our land to big bussiness coperate interests that dont benifit the people or future generation's. The struggle is real !
But you don't seem to realize the direct connection to what you said and why all that happened- you said "my children cannot.." you seem to not realize that your children will each require a HOUSE made of wood, placed somewhere where there were trees, they will need food, water, clothing, produce sewage and garbage, their eating meat or using any animal based products requires more cows and animals to be bred, fed and put somewhere- that causes deforestation, water pollution and all the rest.
You mention "corporate interests" but fail to appreciate the fact that businesses cant make money, and cant expand if people stop BUYING their products- YOU the buyer/consumer is who is causing those corporate interests to expand to fill your demands! If people put solar and wind producing equipment on their own roof and property, the corporation would not NEED 200 more wind turbines to produce you with electric!
@@HobbyOrganist this sort of response is based on an aweful lot of ignorant assumptions on your part Victorian Sculptures. Im guessing your comment is based on your own consumerist behaviours not mine as how would you know what mine are. I choose to live in a sustainable way i have my own solar i grow my own food i have my own bussines i care deeply about the environment and my childrens and the futures of everyone elses children. I do not believe that society has to perpetuate such a wastesul unsustainable way if living . I dont support corperate growth i suport local i do not support deforestation of heritage woodlands. I support organics not monsanto . I have educated myself and my children in a better way of living and only hope they can carry that knowledge into a better cleaner more balanced global system. I consume consciously not unconsciously like so many others, it unfortunatly is the less traveld harder road to go by but i believe the only real option. Thank you for your comment as I believe it came from a caring place not a judgemental one. Its incredibly important that all humans continue talking together about this to find solutions.
@@HobbyOrganist also i think you should do some research into the dairy industry and educate yourself about the mass produced milk powder not dirven by demand but buy market fixing. They make 100 times more than the market demands and stock pile milk powder in huge warehouses in order to control the price buy flooding the market or holding back product. Its often the case with oil and many other commodities that are often produced at the cost of our environments.
That is so incredibly sad... I'll be keeping your country in my thoughts n prayers ❤
Gabrielle. Where is this happening in New Zealand? Concerned to hear of this.
Jonna I cried so hard, when I saw your video last night and even dreamed about meeting you and Johan after that. Even though we haven't met in person I feel so connected to you and seeing you so heartbroken is shaking me to the core. I am so sorry for your loss and all the struggle you were going through all these years. It amazes me how you managed to keep your head up during that time and still enjoy life, create and see the beauty in everything! Stay strong you are not alone!
I found your channel 2 days ago and you literally made me cry. Thank you for being on the Internet and inspiring so many of us to be better humans. I send you love! Thank you!
hope you are vegan not only good talking women 😇😊
Jonna, I am so very sorry to hear this news this really is so very sad. If there if one thing that is very evident in the time I have been watching your vlogs it's how you seem as one with the environment and nature around you. The places you show us are truly stunning and the thought of them being destroyed is heartbreaking. I'd like to ask if there is anything people outside of Sweden can do to try and help with this? Is there anyone we can contact or petition to ask them to reconsider destroying this beautiful place? I would me very happy to help. Finally, it is very clear how upsetting this is for you, especially given how long you have been facing this. While I know it is very hard right now please do not let it allow the light inside you to die. My thoughts are with you all.
I agree with you. Is there anything we can do outside of Sweden? I would be happy to take time to write emails, letters or sign any petitions etc. Please let us know. :)
I feel the same that maybe there could be something to do about this also outside of Sweden :) What could it be? To bring more awareness of these things around the world? To get connected? To get more connected with ourselves and with the light in us and let that light lead our way? To find the solutions together and concentrate on that? Letting all of our feelings be allowed and then letting go of anger and concentrate on building the new kind of world, together?
We have no Places like this in Germany anymore....So sorry, that Germany is involved in this tragedy.Makes me furious,angry, sad, all at the same Time. The Money destroys everything. I wish I could experience once in my life, that people make good decision. Like you.
yeah if you think....one nuclear power plant or hundreds of wind turbines? Seems now easier...
If Germany had population of 6 million it would be like Sweden. On the other hand it would be nice to heat house with electricity that comes from wind instead of burning trees. Put wind turbines on the sea.
Geothermal energy needs a lot of electricity to run. At least 4KW for small house. To produce that electricity you need to burn coal, trees, diesel or have some wind energy which is so far the most efficient green energy.
Yes you do. In Thuringin where my partner is from there is beautiful forests and nature. He is from a town in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere reserve with forests on all sides. So many Germans from the rest of the country have never even been to the east because they look down the noses on the ossis. There is plenty of unspoiled places there, have seen it myself.
There will soon be no places like this in Sweden any longer. They will all be overrun with psychotic religious zealots hell bent on decapitating every last "infidel." Good luck with that, BTW.
This is absolutely heartbreaking.
These cut-off trees remind me of dead bodys.
The cut- off wood like a cemetry.
At least i m glad that many people still see this very commen.
Irina Volotas that’s a really clever interpretation.
It's OK to Slash and burn in the amazon for farmland for macdonalds burgers though
Where do you think they got all the wood in the shed to keep their house warm through the winter?
This is heartbreaking, Jonna. I'm so sorry to hear about the threat of the wind turbines and the death of the forest. When you said "There are bigger problems in the world" I said out loud, "There are not" There are no bigger problems in the world than humans not recognizing the beauty of our planet and instead of doing our best to steward and protect this beautiful gift, they are destroying it.
Oooooooh ... This is such sad news Jonna ...
I am crying now and I'm an old man .. I remember the first time I felt sad about the way we humans treat this beautiful Planet was over 35 years ago .. Your video touched my heart in a way that not many things have in the past years .. I deeply deeply share your sadness ...
Firstly thank you for taking the time and courage to share your deepest feelings about what is happening there, and how it impacts your life, the life of the community there .. and also our beautiful Mother Earth!!!
I've lived over 70 years here, I've Shepherding on Scottish hills, and yet I have never lived so close to nature as you, never quite so in-tune as you, but I feel it deeply too ...
I don't have answers .. somewhere I want to believe that there are answers to be found in consciousness, I have recently found hope on a personal level in the work of Mada Dalian .. (only just so I cannot claim transformation of anything, but am truly impressed by her work .. 'The Dalian Healing Method' and 'In Search of the Miraculous' .. maybe you might find some answers there too!?
Thank You, thank You again, for such an honest outpouring of your heart, feelings and sensitivities!!
I applaud everything you do and the way that you do it!!!
May Great Spirit guide you All in these challenging times ❤️💖❤️ 🤗 🙏
This is so heartbreaking. There are no words to describe how much love I am sending to everyone in Grundtjärn.... to all of nature... and people....to all walks of life there. Sending you such a big hug Jonna.... filled with light.
Already 23 thousand signatures on the petition against the turbines. And there are still more signatures coming in! This community is amazing. So much love and support!
More than 25 thousand now! It's so good to see how involved everyone is!
I totally agree, I just discovered Jonna about 2 weeks ago and she got my Attention ... she's magical ... she transmits and boost positive energy to all of us ... it is beautiful to see that people from all around the world is awakening ... we have to change the current course of our lives ... Reconnect with Nature ... and Jonna is Magical about that, she can put us right there and make us feel as if we were a part of that ... just beautiful ...
I found the petition and signed it, here to help you fight for what's right. Love from Canada, keep fighting!!
where can i sign the petition
@@sorcererprincessify there is a link in the description of the video.
My father's grandmother came from Sweden in 1906 when she was 13 years old and only swedish did she and her family speak. I love to hear it. It's such a beautiful language. The beauty you are sharing of this part of Sweden is absolutely breathtaking.
Seems like soon no one will be able to experience the pure beauty of nature and it's magical silence... Our planet is too small for all this greed that make people destroy everything (
Helga Hunsen and at least we destroy ourself :( i feel so empty everyday thinking of all this problems
There is still an estimated 3 trillion trees on the planet, it's not all over.
@Rik Schoonenberg it's just a question of time
@Black whiskey 7 it's horrifying to realize that you have to share this planet with people that will do everything to continue luxury way of life... They just don't care about the consequences.
@@helgaketurka Globalists movement are a very sinister cartel that have silently worked on long term project how to create war, destroy nature etc to reduce the population to 500 million.
"Our"politicians are owned by those rich gross jack asses that attacks us.
This is heart breaking...I've never resonated so much with a place. It has so much soul. Sending all the love and hugs 💙
It's heartbreaking to hear about the situation. I wonder if you could call to all your viewers for help. you have shared with so many people the amazing treasure of the place you live in. it's truly a special untouched place and as you say this is extremely rare. very few of us have ever experiences such a place which is I think one of the reasons your videos touch so many people. I'm sure that if you made a video specifically addressing this issue you could have a big impact. Don't give up. let us know how we can help you protect your home xxx
I just felt a strong need to speak for you Jonna and for all of you who read the comments. When Jonna sat there on her rock and looked out over the once evergreen forest, now devastated, and when she leaned over and kissed the tree stump. I realise that it just felt so much like she kissed a dear friend for one last goodbye. It broke me. I am now in tears and they won't stop running. I had never before thought of the forest as something so alive and something that is actually so beautiful and rich. That it gives us humans so much in every way. Not only wealth in trees, wildlife and land but also support in life, just like a close friend. Thank you Jonna for showing us what nature means to you. And thank you so much for inspiring me to see the forest from a different perspective than just as a resource for construction and for export.
I was crying for the loss of the beautiful trees and then read the victory against the wind turbines! So happy for all! I just recently found your videos and I am enchanted by you and your way of life. It is hard but brings such love in life. Blessings to you and all who read this.
I have signed and shared the petition and shared your video as well.
As an Alaskan with Scandinavian bloodlines, I can relate to the indescribable feeling that you are a part of the land. It is as if your lungs breath with the trees and your dreams run with the rivers and your tears fall with the snow and your heart breaks with the ice. I know this feeling.
I am sending you all of the positive energy, blessings, and compassion that I have during this difficult time.
I love you and your forests. I hope that you can live a long and happy life together for so many more years to come 🙏🏼
Who’s rewatching this in Oct 2020 and are smiling because you already know how amazing her life is now xxx
@@psychotriaelata9735 sorry for the spoilers
Ohhhhhh......i hope they saved the land!
Me 😄😄😄😄
What happened?
Yes, I'm watching it today. But there are many places on the planet where nature is being destroyed and it hurts.
Her cow literally walked right up to her like “you are MY HUMAN” 😭❤️❤️❤️
Oh Jonna, your videos give me life. Thank you for all of these. :) Also, please let us know if there is anything we could do as a RUclips community to help preserve the forests of Northen Sweden. Petitions or anything which could do some impact on the people who are making decisions. I felt the emptiness and the mundane feelings after seeing your before and after clips of the forest which has been destroyed. Deforestation and global warming have its consequences and Sri Lanka is suffering some of it currently.
Devin Yasas same feeling💔😭😭😭😭
This brought tears in my eyes. I cry with you. Nature is our friend, our mother and is healing us. So sad news❤️Hope that you can stay there forever and the windturbines never becomes reality!!
Finally, I found one bubble on the internet crying about the land as much as I am. I grew up in British Columbia, Canada, the most beautiful place in the world (in my opinion). I grew up playing among the trees and creeks and forests there, the smells there are like no other to me. Now climate change is making it warmer in the winter, and the pine beetle isn't dying (usually the cold kills it) and they're eating all the trees as a result, so many of the forests are now brown and dead, and also climate change is causing more fires, and the dead trees act like tinder, and the less forest there is the less water retention, which makes everything dryer, which causes it to catch on fire more - it's a vicious cycle. My home is burning and turning brown and I cry whenever I go there now and see the damage, but I also cry a lot because it's still so heartbreakingly beautiful. It looks a lot like the forests I see in these videos, but even wilder, with more steep steep mountains and plunging river canyons full of jagged rocks and cliffs. It's so beautiful. I feel helpless and full of a rage that cannot be contained. Sometimes I feel like I am the fires, screaming at the people to stop what they're doing. I am so angry at humans, even though I am one, it makes me speechless.
Wow, British Columbia sounds like a paradise to me! I would love to visit.🌲
And all the animals, insects and ancient Earth spirits- where do they go? They’re chased from their home, terrified and most die. Why do so few care?
I'm in BC as well... the fires are thankfully less severe this summer but it's tragic what's happening all over the world to be beautiful places. It is heartbreaking
You are an assclown.
@@billbauer9795 Maybe instead of giving just an insult, you could try constructive conversation? This person is showing nothing but appreciation for the natural world around them, a natural emotion anyone should be able to understand. If you disagree with anything, just talk about it. Insulting people isn't going to do anything, fix or change anything.
Привет! Твое видео затронуло меня до глубины души, так как я обожаю всю нашу землю и природу. И абсолютно с тобой согласна и поддерживаю тебя, это действительно печально, что делают с ресурсами земли..спасибо тебе за твои прекрасные сюжеты, что ты делишься такой красотой с нами, искренне радуюсь смотря твои видео! Обнимаю крепко, всем сердцем)))
Your videos have literally saved me from mental illness and addiction relapse. You are such an inspiration. Hearing you say you get depressed or sad is refreshing (because I think you’re perfect❤️) hearing you’re stories and your strength is so real and raw. I just love you thank you for being you!
Hey Lauren, I think it's perfectly perfect to feel depressed from time to time! That makes you just as perfect as Jonna 😊
It takes a 'robot' to not feel or not feel depressed. It takes a perfect human to FEEL. I love her videos too, learns me a lot about following the heart and to feel😊. Big hug for you!
This is so sad... i never comment but I follow you some years ago now. I love your videos. I live in Spain and everything is constructed, we are a lot of people living here, and there is not much of wild nature anymore... but the worst is the tourist massification, which is not very respectful, and it is itself very destructive... i rarely go to the coast because of that reason, it is completely lost... when I see your wonderful videos i am a bit jealous that you can still enjoy the nature around, but I feel so, so thankful to you that you share this secret place with the world, with me, in my little room. is one of the most generous act i have seen, sometimes I wish you are not doing them because i am afraid that people discover it and start to go there too...but i learnt a lesson with you, this is our planet, and it is for all of us to enjoy, but also to protect. All this years seeing your videos made me feel that those landscapes, those woods, the aurora borealis, also belongs to me, as a human being on this planet. I hope you all can stop that company. I already sign the petition. Big hug my dear sister in the north
This made me cry. When will humans respect the sacred world of nature, we are nature. When we hurt the tree's, the land, we hurt ourselves. I hope we can become better care takers to mother earth. So many things are happening. It is hard for those of us, that consider, the animals, tree's, rocks, water's to be our kin. Let us pray for an awakening. You are a kind soul~
When we reduce our population and own to the core of our souls we are integrated with and dependent on this wonderful Mothership and we need those trees.
I guess you use no oil, gas, wood, etc
I am arrested by how beautiful you are in so many ways. And I am deeply touched by your love of the forested lands around you and for the life you and Johan have carved out of your special place. I wish only the very best for both of you and your neighbors. You and Johan seem to me to be the real, modern vikings of love. You explore and you conquer all with your beautiful love and warmth. Thank you so much for bringing such beauty of your spirit and style to so many people around the world. May you two be safe, may you two be well, may you two be peaceful, may you two be happy!
Goodness this is terrible! Beautiful nature getting destroyed is just too sad, I'm emotional as well. Isn't there anything that can be done to keep the forrests? Sending you lots of love Jonna, hopefully there can be a compromise or anything to save just a fraction of forrest if the plans for the turbines come through.
En av anledningarna till att jag älskar att titta på dina videor är just din kärlek till vår svenska natur. Ibland så känns det som att många inte förstår hur vackert det faktiskt är. Jag sörjer verkligen med dig! Du ger mig så mycket inspiration! Drömmer om att kunna resa norrut och få uppleva en vacker vinter nån gång. Hoppas Grundtjärn står kvar som det är då. Massa styrkekramar till alla som bor i denna vackra ort! Skrev på namnlistan direkt!
Väldigt vackert och fint gjort. Kallt dock? ;)
@@gtboard Ja, det kan vara kallt i Sverige, men då är luften också väldigt torr så det känns inte kallt på ett negativt sätt, men man måste röra på sig. I stället blir det ju så vackert och snön knarrar. Det kan vara svårt att hantera en kamera med tjocka vantar.
Sending you so much love and light from New Hampshire in USA 🙏❤️🙏You’ve made my healing time from my hysterectomy (cancer- we got it all!) so much better. I’m also fighting Lyme disease and in a time where my whole world has been turned upside down and I felt so scared and sad you have offered me (and so many) such peace and comfort. Thank you for sharing your light in such a dark world, we are so lucky to know you 🧝🏻♀️✨🌬❄️
Prayers for you. Stay strong.
Savamn Delaplaine thank you so much 🙏💞🤗
Oh my dear, I commented before the video finished and now I’m sobbing right along with Jonna. I love forests and trees and rocks and nature as deeply and to my core too, I have cried for so many fallen trees, and people have always told me I’m crazy or too sensitive. But honestly I would much rather be able to feel the power in the connection to nature and that deep, sacred knowledge that comes with communing with the natural forces and the sense of enlightenment that comes when you can feel yourself connected inextricably with the energies surrounding you- my heart is breaking for you Jonna and all those who are facing this. Have you been organizing? Any way to bring in an environmental agency to see if any endangered species might be affected? Or how about petitions/protests? I’m not sure how it works over there but here in the US sometimes those can work to protect the lands. Is there anything we can do to help? Write letters or call an office or something? I mean most of us don’t even live in the same country but if our voices mean anything I know 100% your devoted following would offer ourselves to your cause!! Thank you for sharing and telling us and please keep us updated and let us know if we can help. I am so so sorry for the loss of that wonderful forest, seeing you mourn those trees hit me hard as I’ve done the exact same thing. We see you 🙏 we support you ❤️ sending you even more love 🙌💕✨❄️
Dear Samantha I am sorry to hear about your illness and I am sending you Love and Light from England. I'm from South Africa, had to leave my home and loved ones for personal and health reasons. Be strong xxx

Ive read that this never happened and for this I am so grateful. Tho I am so sad about your forest (Ive had it happen to me too, so I feel your pain). Thank you for sharing all this with us... for sharing what's on your heart. The environment around you brings me so much joy. It makes my heart burst and Im so thankful that you are there to share it with us. You give me hope that there are more people like you out there... that one day we will begin to cherish and find balance again with nature and all see the limitless abundance and beauty of living like you do within it... with reverence. Bless you and yours always Jonna.
It breaks my heart. I live in a small city but every time when I see cut down the forest, I feel pain. Not only because of the forest, but it was home for so many animals and birds.
do not imagine how much i waited for your video... this is pure art... it's love... it transmits peace... and a lot of desire to live like you... hugs from Brazil.
Thank you!! ♥
Also--if there is a petition we can sign, or anyway we can get involved to help, we stand behind you!!

I just found this video. I’m sorry for your heavy heart but I I’d like to know, what was the outcome?
I am watching these videos out of sequence and years later. You are truly a special and unique spirit. I am somewhat older and have seen many things vanish in the name of progress. In America the pace of life and emphasis on consumerism is overwhelming. I salute you and all kindred spirits for standing for what is truly of value. ❤
“Burn our furnitures” 😂 he’s lowkey but hilarious. Please tell him not to feel camera shy we love seeing him in the videos with you. You guys are like two puzzles that perfectly fit together ☺️🧩
Watching this broke my heart for you & your tiny community.
The forest being cut down, made my tears flow with sadness & heartbreak. I realized how grateful I am to have witnessed these gifts that you have shared with us.
The beauty you have captured in your photography & your film's. Your nature spirit energy, wheather your balancing rocks, calling & feeding your darling cow, or plunging yourself into freezing water. Every video has brought us closer to your vision, the balance with nature & how it shapes & molds your/our lives. The forests energy that you tapped into will always hold the magic & songs that you created inside its sacred room.
Thank You Jonna, truly so many of us "viewers" have been blessed by your incredible journey. For us, your videos are like therapy for the soul. Lots of Love & (((Hugs))).
You have two hundred and ninety two thousand subscribers each of those subscribers are in love with your forest too figure out what we can do to help and we will sign a petition. I don’t even live there but I have so much love for beautiful nature the world doesn’t need more wind turbines it needs forest that is alive and well. Let us know what we can do to help
i will join to help Jonna, just ask!(Lithuania)
She also has 700000 followers on facebook. She can make a difference.
We need to start a petition! This cannot go ahead!
I agree, we need this forest to stay untouched. All of us need to get together and stop this thing!
A petition has been started, the link is at the top of the comments section. Sign and share and spread the word as far as you can 👍
I totally felt your heartbreak. I live in a crowed, air polluted, noise polluted, light polluted area. I can only enjoy the peace you feel where you live through you. Your videos give me hope and a goal to find my happy place surrounded by nature. I hope there will still be some left.
"So far away from what I was longing for" is the best description of needing the forest when in a city I can think of.
Heartbreaking. When will people realise that we only have one earth? 💔❤
People will never realize that there is no one cleaning up the messes they leave......
This breaks my heart💔I cried with you when I saw the forest cut down. I'm from Canada, Vancouver BC and we have this very same problem here. It is so sad the destruction of our beautiful forests.
Send you hugs💗🙏💗
The forest part absolutely made me cried.. I know that feeling. Some people perhaps will lift their brows up, but for one thing, it feels an absolute sorrow to have a place you loved so much be gone. It is not the same anymore.
I'm sending you a huge hug and I wish we could do something to help. :(
I hope everything will turn out okay and that they get denied for the wind turbines and I'll keep positive thinking. The rock scene broke my heart... I can't believe people can be cruel and just cut down an entire forest... It hurts :(
Huge hugs from Portugal
Your films will open hearts!!!
Send it to GREENPEACE!
A great idea!! Sharing your idea! :)

You stand up. You fight. You win. Simple. That’s why you’re there. The old ones need your strength!
I'm new to your vlogs but i love your spirit. This one was difficult to watch but i realized (after drying my eyes) that perhaps the universe or fate or whatever you choose to call it, brought YOU to this forest and others in their last days for a reason. Sadly, they may be gone BUT because of YOUR videos and photography they are not forgotten. You memorialized the beauty of these ancient places that i personally would never have seen if it weren't for you. Thank you for sharing this.
Much love from a small town in Arkansas, USA
Heyy this comment actually made me feel abit better 😊😁
I cried so badly when I heard that forest was cut down and with the lodges piling up. Can definitely share the deep sadness. I live in very dense city and very rare I can see forest, but they mean so much to me. Feel that part of me is gone. I am struggling with something too and very glad to hear Jonna said 'let's continue with the flow, everything will be ok.' Love you a lot, Jonna. Your vidoes give me peace as always.
I am from North-eastern India and I can remember how my childhood was spent wondering amidst lush green nature, and at night, staring at the skyline. In 4th standard, I visited my adjoining state of Meghalaya, and was overwhelmed with the beauty of the Eastern Himalayan range, its narrow spiral roads, and the pine trees. 18 years later, when I revisited the state, it saddened me ,because now the roads were wide, but forests narrower ; more houses and buildings but less of thrill and clear sky.
Swedish people, please prove the power of people's opinion!
Que tremendo querida,sabes, cuando te veía feliz caminando o saltando en los bosques siempre sentí que eras como una NINFA DE LOS BOSQUES y ahora que muestras esta faceta tuya veo que eres toda una GUARDIANA de la naturaleza, con qué claridad hablas de la inconsciencia a la que ha llegado el hombre en su ambición ciega en que nada le importa ya, que triste de verdad, lamentablemente es algo muy difícil de revertir pero no importa, los que tenemos otra manera de vivir, tenemos que mantenernos en nuestros valores. Un abrazo grande grande para ti y tu familia, muchas bendiciones
I'm so sorry this is happening. I used to think the Swedish government was so progressive and forward thinking, how can they let this happen?! It's not quite the same thing you're going through, but I remember feeling this way when I was a younger girl here in Ohio. All the farms and open land, streams, and ponds, where I used to ride my horses were all razed and subdivisions went in over every available inch. Land that I used to throw my head back, drop my reins and fly with my horse.....it's all gone now. All my friends and their horses that I used to ride with moved away to other farms. It was such a loss and was depressing, now when I drive through these built up suburban areas that same sense of sadness comes to me....it never really goes away unfortunately.
Sadly many governments with progressive facade are not willing to stay true to the ideals they preach. While talking about equality and pacifism with great eloquence Obama licensed thousands of drone strikes all across the middle east, with many innocents killed besides the intended targets and a lot of rage and hate built up that will lead into the next generation of terrorism. While talking about respect for nature Trudeau continued energy politics oriented towards fossil fuels in Canada, damaging the environment more than ever.
Same thing now in this case.
Tears are streaming down my face...for you and for the trees that were alive, born of Mother Nature, and I cry for her as well. Human ignorance! What have they done?!
Oh Jonna 💔 I am so sorry! If there is anything we can do, let us know! Fingers crossed that the good will always win! 💑
Edit: wow, the scene of the rock back then and now, broke my heart 💔
Thank you soooo much my dear friend ❤
We all have the same question in mind: can we help in your fight?
You are close to the challenge and only you can name it.
Tell us about that.
I found this video just at exact time - just a few days ago I also discovered that one of my precious forests here in Sweden was gone... I cried so much and felt the energy of taken down trees... and you Jonna put all my feelings into words. I feel you so much!!!And I totally relate to your love and connection to nature. Much love! ♥
Man. I cried. I’m mourning a forest I have never even set a foot into. It’s so hard to be a good person. I am actually from Germany. And it always made me feel good to know that I made the effort to look for a “better” electricity and gas provider. One that only uses “eco electricity” from “alternative energy sources” and also doesn’t use their profits to support atomic or coal energy, but instead uses it to plant trees or invest into new alternative sources. But seeing this video made me realise that there is no good solution. Even wind energy means cutting down forests to build the wind turbine fields there. I’ve seen them in the Baltic Sea. It looks ugly and is really loud. Especially for animals, both under water and in the air. What’s the alternative? I’m sitting here with my phone in my hand, with lights and my heater on. What’s the alternative? I want to save the world, but I also don’t think we can all move to a forest to save the world. It sucks. It’s hard to be a good person. And it’s sad that we humans hurt the environment so much. Thanks for the nice videos you make and the important message you share with them ❤️ Love from Berlin

Why do people never talk about the cultivation of algae? It is copying nature´s own method of catching the solar energy and then transforming it into both oil, "gasoline" and food. And the algae cultivation eats CO2 (if people are interested in that). This is written in Swedish, but the videos in the article are in English.

have you see n this? these waveenergy devices provide huge amounts of power m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1965335773547645&id=303881139693125
I totally understand you Dajana :) maybe a solution is to change our way of life.... we really don't need to consume as much as we do ... but i get you it is hard to change our habits ...
Oh wow, Jonna....hi, I’m Ellie and I live in Romania, a few thousands km “underneath” you on the map. Thank you for telling us these things, It’s wonderful to see a real example of the impact the industries have on human lives and on nature and wildlife... I felt every bit of it with you and it brought me closer to all of these issues....you live so pure and it’s something I yearn for too...I try to go to parks and look at the night sky but I feel so far away from those things I want to see. The way you live is something I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl and every-time I see one of your videos I feel like I live a little bit through you, my mind goes to those silent amazing places and it rests...thank you. I feel for you, and I really hope the wind turbines are put somewhere else😞 I’ll be thinking of you. I’m so sad about the forest as well and those scenes where you show how they were and how they are now broke my heart😞...But we’re right, humankind has many faults and we just have to accept we don’t have control over everything that happens to us...I’m struggling with that as well..we keep going though and find the beautiful things that we have❤️ keep us updated!🌲

Dearest, Jonna. This is your most important video ever posted and I wished you had said something sooner. You ARE the voice of nature and so are all of your followers and others who have yet to discover you. Together and from all parts of the world we can fight this. I will sign the petition noted below but there is more that can be done. Turn this video into a PSA, a Public Service Announcement. Create a shorter edit and post on all media formats including a link to the change.org petition below. There should be a Swedish version of what we call in America an Environmental Impact Statement. It is a legal report on how the wind turbines would change and impact the environment forever. Check the company's website as this should be available to the public. That report alone should prove enough negative impact to litigate action against the company in court. Surely there are environmental groups in Sweden that will support this kind of litigation, provide funding and do what must be done. This is not just about Sweden. Changes to pristine nature affects all of us around the world. You are not alone.
I agree, I think this is her most important video too. She expressed herself extremely well, it's perfect. If she cut out the start of the video which was unrelated, and possibly shortened the main bit ever so slightly I can see this video making a huge impact.
100% this. There is so much possible action that can be done, and Jonna is the best person for it. Jonna if you find this, please take action
🔝

Yes yes yeees. And maybe put in some more footage of the forest that these suckers want to destroy 😡
This video had me crying because I understand 100% how you were feeling in this video. This past summer the US forest service did a control burn in one of my favorite forests, it got out of control and burned over 600,000 acres. This area will never be the same. I’ve cried like you for the loss of the trees and wildlife here.
Sad thing is I think that they are letting to many fires get out of control for selfish reasons. 😪 They also want to push forest dwellers out and force everyone into designated and over populated areas where people just live on top of each other and there's so much land if we spread out. But big corporations are greedy.
After watching this video, I have grown speechless. It is truly frightening to see what can happen between now and the future. Nonetheless, in the face of all the circumstances, you still manage to pull through and stay strong. That to me, is truly inspiring. I live in the suburbs here in the northern part of NJ, so I am quite used to the city life. That said, I still appreciate the beauty of our state parks and reserves as it is the one place where I can find some solitude from everything else. Being with my girlfriend has also made me appreciate nature and the small things even more than ever before. Honestly, it really bothers me when some people can't even see the value that nature has to offer. There was no way I could continue going about my day without signing the petition.
I just want you to know, your vlogs are so inspiring, it made me want to start my own RUclips channel. Why? Because of your warm heart and personality. I have encountered many vloggers on RUclips who are quite awesome and good at what they do. However, there is something so unique and special about your channel, that it makes me want to fly to Sweden and experience it all for myself. I just want to surround myself with literally everything I ever dreamed of.
If you do get a chance to see this post, just know that your message was heard, loud and clear, and that you definitely have our support!
Much love to you, Johan, your cute doggo and cow, and to the village! :)
