Reindeer husbandry – WMS

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. The service shows land use and administrative boundaries for reindeer husbandry in Norway.

Specific usage: 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. Reindeer husbandry data is important when assessing the location of elements such as fish farming facilities, power lines, wind farms and hydroelectric power stations, mineral activities, cabin construction, roads and infrastructure, development of recreational activities and planning of military exercises. The reindeer husbandry industry and other industries involving livestock on outfield pastures must be adjusted to suit one another.
