This open access book focuses on climate change Indigenous reindeer husbandry and the
underlying concept of connecting the traditional knowledge of Indigenous reindeer herders in
the Arctic with the latest research findings of the world's leading academics. The Arctic and
sub-Arctic environment climate and biodiversity are changing in ways unprecedented in the
long histories of the north challenging traditional ways of life well-being and food
security with legitimate concerns for the future of traditional Indigenous livelihoods. The
book provides a clear and thorough overview of the potential problems caused by a warming
climate on reindeer husbandry and how reindeer herders' knowledge should be brought to action.
In particular the predicted impacts of global warming on winter climate and the resilience of
the reindeer herding communities are thoroughly discussed.
