Forbes, Manfred Bölter, Ludger MÜller-Wille, Janne Hukkinen, Felix MÜller, Nicolas Gunslay, Yulian Konstantinov Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The management of reindeer herds in northernmost Europe has been altered by changes in the environment, largely the result of human activities. This volume investigates the conditions upon which human-reindeer relations have been based. Publisher Description The findings presented in this volume represent a concerted effort to develop a more inclusive form of reindeer management for northernmost Europe. Our guiding principle has been to foster a new paradigm of participatory research. We wish to move beyond the historical reliance on western approaches to basic and applied science. These have been concerned prim- ily with interactions between herded animals and the various components of their biophysical environment, e. g. , plants, insects, predators, climate, and others. In our view,sociocultural and economic drivers,along with herders experience-based knowledge,gain equal currency in the effort to understand how management may mitigate against the negative aspects of the challenges modern herding faces, while also exploring concepts of sustainability from different perspectives (see also Jernsletten and Klokov 2002; Kankaanpää et al. 2002; Ulvevadet and Klokov 2004). This broadening of the pool of disciplines and local,national,and int- national stakeholders in policy-relevant research invariably complicates v- tually all aspects of the research process. Multidisciplinary or, in our sense, transdisciplinary approaches also require extraordinary effort from all p- ticipants if they are to succeed. As such, those approaches should not be undertaken lightly, nor without personnel who possess appropriate expe- ence in cooperating with those of different disciplines and, preferably, also with relevant practitioners and public social and administrative institutions. In such settings the potential for misunderstandings is quite high. Details ISBN 3540260870 ISBN-13 9783540260875 Title Reindeer Management in Northernmost Europe Author Bruce C.
