Sami Reindeer Herders Kah Wai Lin Photography 55% of sweden’s total land area is defined as reindeer husbandry area. about 50% of the total forest area in sweden and about 40% of the standing forest volume is found within the reindeer husbandry area. for a family to live solely on reindeer herding, they must own at least 400 reindeer. We conducted a partly facilitated online public participation gis survey to study reindeer herders’ perspectives on the impacts of land uses on reindeer herding in inari, in the sámi.
Reindeer Herders Association Land Usage Reindeer Herders Association We conducted a partly facilitated online public participation gis survey to study reindeer herders’ perspectives on the impacts of land uses on reindeer herding in inari, in the sámi homeland, finland. To improve communication between reindeer herders and other land users, we developed and implemented a system to produce reindeer husbandry plans together with sami reindeer herding communities. Through the platform, local municipalities and policymakers can gain insights into the consequences of forest transformation and the challenges herders face in their daily practices as a result of land use policies and climate change. This research was conceived in response to a participatory mapping program, the reindeer husbandry plan (rhp), led by the swedish forest agency. the rhp is based on a digital tool compiling and mapping habitat use by reindeer herding communities.

This case study is about consultations and land use conflicts between the indigenous sami people and the forestry sector in northern sweden. Reindeer husbandry plans are a benefit to future community plans awing up rbps. this work has evolved from a project wit other actors using the land, as well as authorities, have shown a steadily increasing interest in using rbps in consultation with herding communities. Collect and evaluate traditional knowledge related to land uses, land degradation, and food governance from indigenous reindeer herders globally. develop gis based maps and future scenarios to support integrated rangeland management.
