The volume offers a holistic understanding of the environmental and societal challenges that affect reindeer husbandry in Norway, Sweden and Finland and highlights viable pathways to maintaining reindeer husbandry for the future.
The volume examines how reindeer husbandry is affected
by and responds to global environmental change and resource extraction in boreal and
arctic social-ecological systems. The book includes in-depth analyses that are
devoted to particularly urgent challenges, such as land-use conflicts, climate
change and predation, identified as having a high potential to shape the future
pathways of the pastoral identity and productivity.
From the
Arctic Centre, researchers Sirpa Rasmus, Minna Turunen, Bruce Forbes, Mia Landauer
and Simo Sarkki have contributed to several articles in the volume.
The book is now available as an open access version.
