Reindeer husbandry - gathering sites WFS

The staging area dataset shows areas with natural boundaries where reindeer gather temporarily while gathering for migration, calf branding, separation or slaughter. 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.
