Abstract
Programme and abstracts - the 11th Arctic Ungulate Conference (AUC), 24-28 August 2003, Saariselkä, Finland
Highlights
The 11th Arctic Ungulate Conference (AUC) continues a series of ten conferences devoted to Arctic Ungulates, including five International Reindeer/Caribou Symposia, two International Muskox Symposia and three Arctic Ungulate Conferences
Conference keynote presentations will be published in a Rangifer Special Issue after the Conference and articles of participants' oral and poster presentations will be published according to the publication principal of Rangifer, included either in ordinary issues, collected in separate ordinary issues or in a special issue
In the presentation I will try to answer the question to what extent and in what sense can the development of Sami reindeer management in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia be explained by differences in the legal framework that the national states have forced on their reindeer herders
Summary
The 11th Arctic Ungulate Conference (AUC) continues a series of ten conferences devoted to Arctic Ungulates, including five International Reindeer/Caribou Symposia, two International Muskox Symposia and three Arctic Ungulate Conferences. The series began with the First International Reindeer/Caribou Symposium, held in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1972. The Third International Reindeer/Caribou Symposium was in Saariselka, Finland, in 1982. First Arctic Ungulate Conference was arranged in Nuuk, Greenland, in 1991, and 2nd in Fairbanks, in 1995. When returning to Saariselka, we decided to call our meeting the "11th Arctic Ungulate Conference" to emphasise the tradition and continuity of this series. Session 1: Range Ecology & Socioeconomy Chairmen: Eldar Gaare, Norway and Jouko Kumpula, Finland Keynote speaker Lauri Oksanen, Sweden: The impact of reindeer grazing on rare arctic-alpine plants in Fennoscandia
