Conflicts between domestic reindeer and their wild counterparts: a review of Eurasian and North American experience
ABSTRACT. Experience in the Soviet Union and Alaska indicates that the major poten-tial conflicts between domestic reindeer and their wild counterparts (both caribou and reindeer are of the same species, Rangifer tarandus) are: ( I) Loss of domestic reindeer to wild herds.
