BERGEN, Norway, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit are being urged to cancel their trip to Chile next week over the nation's environmental policies.

Norges Miljovernforbund says that Chilean policies on salmon farming "hits ecosystems hard" in areas where "local fishermen are seeing their livelihoods destroyed by Norwegian capitalist interests," Aftenposten reported Friday.

The Bergen, Norway-based environmental group, also known as Green Warriors of Norway, says the royal couple should abide by their own environmental principles and cancel their three-day trip to Chile.
