GPS-collar tracking and GEO-spatial modelling to analyze the effects of hydro-power development on reindeer herding in Northen Finland
This paper deals with the possible effects of a planned water reservoir in the Pudasjärvi — Kollaja area (northern Finland) on local reindeer husbandry. Reindeer husbandry is a culturally and locally also economic important livelihood, which can utilize the limited biological resources of the Boreal...
