A flock of Barnacle geese fly over a field in Parikkala, Finland on May 16, 2023. With a cacophony of honks resembling the sound of a hailstorm, tens of thousands of hungry geese blanket a lush green field in Finland with their black flocks. “There's probably around 20 to 30 hectares behind me, it is easily eaten in a day”, farmer Kari Pekonen tells AFP. In Finland's eastern Karelia region, home to boreal forests and wetlands, climate change is pushing local farmers into conflict with wildlife. (Photo by Alessandro Rampazzo/AFP Photo)
