Reindeer husbandry - consession permit regions WFS

The dataset defines areas outside the Sami reindeer grazing area, where special permits are given for reindeer husbandry in accordance with the Reindeer Husbandry Act, section 8. This is applicable to both Sami and non-Sami reindeer husbandry. The reindeer grazing areas where Sami reindeer husbandry takes place covers approx. 40% of the land area of Norway, extending from Finnmark in the north to Engerdal, Hedmark in the south. Sami reindeer husbandry also takes place in Trollheimen on the basis of a special legal arrangement. Non-sami reindeer husbandry takes place in the mountain areas in Southern Norway, based on agreements with landowners.
