  • The right to own reindeer according to the reindeer husbandry act includes the right to graze reindeer in the mountains and other sites, including former cultivated fields and hay meadows outside and which are not linked to inhabited areas or facilities in operation, unless they are kept in the claim and not used as pasture, unless the area is fenced to keep out reindeer. Grazing rights include the right to seasonal grazing as necessary, such as spring, summer, autumn and winter grazing and also migratory routes, calving areas and rutting areas. Outside the Sámi reindeer herding area, reindeer husbandry may not be conducted without the King’s special permission. Such permission can be granted only to a person who by written sources can prove that they are associated with the current landowners and rights holders, or can access large enough areas with good reindeer pastures. A permit may not be granted within the wild reindeer area, nor so close to the Sámi reindeer herding area that it might cause conflict. The permit can be given for a certain period and the management can be subject to certain conditions.

  • 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 dataset shows administrative boundaries for Swedish reindeer owners' grazing areas in Norway. The area boundaries are established in the Regulation on grazing areas for Swedish reindeer in Norway, ref. the Border Reindeer Grazing Act.

  • Reindeer husbandry in Norway is conducted primarily in the Sámi reindeer herding area, which is divided into six regional reindeer herding areas; East-Finnmark, West-Finnmark, Troms, Nordland, Nord-Trøndelag and Sør-Trøndelag/Hedmark. The Reindeer herding area comprises approximately 14,000 km2 or 40% of Norway’s surface area. In addition to these are four so-called semi domesticated reindeer herding districts (tamreinlag) outside the Sámi reindeer herding area and the work with reindeer in these is of non-sámi character.

  • Den sesongmessige arealbruken er delt inn i fem årstider, som igjen er delt inn i to kategorier etter funksjon og beiteintensitet. Vinterbeiteområde viser områder som reinen bruker på vinteren. Vinterbeiteområdene er delt inn i 2: Vinterbeite 1 - Senvinterland, intensivt brukte områder som normalt er mest sikre mot store snømengder og nedising på midt- og senvinteren. Vinterbeite 2 - Tidlig benyttede og ofte lavere beliggende vinterområder, som regel mindre intensivt brukte. Beitebruken vil variere fra år til år innen samme område. Inndelingssystemet gjelder reindrifta i hele landet. De årlige variasjonene i bl.a. vær og beiteforhold gjør at årstidsavgrensningene må bli noe vide og omtrentlige.

  • The dataset defines the six reindeer grazing areas that together constitute the Sami reindeer grazing area. The right to practice reindeer husbandry within these areas is exclusive to the Sami population. This special Sami right is not applicable outside these areas, where special permission is required for reindeer husbandry on owned and leased land. A reindeer grazing area constitutes an administrative unit for a number of reindeer grazing districts. The County Governor is the administration authority in the reindeer grazing areas.

  • The seasonal land use is divided into five seasons, which in turn are divided into two categories according to function and grazing intensity. Spring pasture is areas used by reindeer in the spring. Spring grazing areas are divided into two categories: Spring pasture 1 – Calving area and early spring land. The parts of the spring area that are grazed early and where most of the doe herd remains during the calving and branding period. This includes auxiliary calving land. Spring pasture 2 – Bull reindeer pasture land and other spring land, where bull reindeer and yearlings remain during the calving period. Calves with does may also come here later in spring. The use of pasture will vary from year to year within the same area. The classification system is applicable to reindeer husbandry all over the country. The annual variations in factors such as weather and pasture conditions means that the delimitation of the seasons has to be somewhat broad and approximate.

  • The seasonal land use is divided into five seasons, which in turn are divided into two categories according to function and grazing intensity. Summer pastures are areas used by reindeer in the summer. Summer pastures are also divided into categories: Summer pasture 1 – High summer land, central parts generally above the tree line where reindeer remain around midsummer in order to meet their need for grazing, quiet conditions, cooling and as few insects as possible within short distances. Summer pasture 2 – Lower-lying summer land, less central and/or less intensively used areas. The use of pastureland will vary from year to year within the same area. The classification system is applicable to reindeer husbandry all over the country. The annual variations in factors such as weather and pasture conditions means that the delimitation of the seasons has to be somewhat broad and approximate.
