Kurt Willy Oddekalv was a Norwegian environmentalist.
Career
He was excluded from Norwegian Society for the Conservation of Nature after a vote at the Annual gathering meeting in 1993. As a result of this he created his own environmental organization Green Warriors of Norway of which he was the leader until his death.Oddekalv was the leader of Norges Miljøvernforbund, and wanted to persecute Sámi reindeer herders on grounds of allowing a number of reindeer to die during the intense winter of 1996–1997. He stated that it was a myth that the Sámi were living harmoniously with nature, but instead that they were destroying the tundra of Finnmark. These claims were used to justify governmental and political initiatives to limit the indigenous peoples' reindeer herding activities.
Oddekalv revealed in 2015 that he believed in chemtrails, a conspiracy theory that has been strongly criticized by skeptics.
