After a sudden rise in reindeer collisions, Norwegian rail authorities will speed up fence-building
2017 was the worst year for reindeer-train collisions in Norway in nearly a decade.
Even before the collisions began this November, Norwegian state railway officials were aware they had a problem on their hands. After falling for most of the 1990s and 2000s, the number of reindeer killed each year by passing trains more than doubled in 2010, and since then the figure has remained stubbornly high, at about 400.
