Reindeer Management in Northernmost Europe Linking Practical and Scientific Knowledge in Social-Ecological Systems /

The findings presented in this volume represent a concerted effort to develop a more inclusive form of reindeer management for northernmost Europe. Our guiding principle has been to foster a new paradigm of participatory research. We wish to move beyond the historical reliance on western approaches...
