Summary

Background

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
