The dataset provides an insight into land use for reindeer husbandry and shows areas enclosed with fences where semi-domesticated reindeer are collected together/kept for feeding or in anticipation of being driven into enclosed work areas for branding or slaughter, for example.

The area boundaries are indicative as information for the reindeer industry, public administration, the planning authorities and developers. The content of the datasets is not binding for future use.

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.
