Reindeer Management

Reindeer management involves overseeing the population and well-being of reindeer, primarily in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. It includes practices such as monitoring herd health, controlling grazing areas, and ensuring sustainable breeding. Traditional practices, often led by indigenous communities, balance ecological needs with cultural significance. Reindeer herding is vital for livelihoods, providing food, clothing, and materials. Effective management considers seasonal migrations, environmental impacts, and climate change, aiming to maintain healthy herds while respecting both animal welfare and local cultures. This approach is crucial for preserving both the species and the communities that depend on them.
