The Reindeer Herding and Resilience project is a global initiative aimed at building a comprehensive knowledge base on the traditional practices of reindeer herders, focusing on land and pasture management.
This project seeks to develop the capacity of reindeer herding youth and enhance the overall resilience of reindeer herding communities. By integrating indigenous knowledge with modern sustainable practices, the RHR project aims to create a robust framework for future land management and environmental stewardship.
The mission of the RHR project is to establish a global, multi-dimensional knowledge base and enhance the capacity of reindeer herders to contribute to sustainable landscape management. This involves documenting traditional knowledge, translating it into actionable policies and practices, and raising awareness about the critical role of indigenous voices in environmental conservation. Through various training programs and collaborative efforts, the project aims to build resilience within Arctic communities and promote sustainable practices in reindeer herding.
Key components of the project include:
Data Collection
Gathering data on land degradation and pasture management.
Monitoring Systems
Developing sub-national land management monitoring systems and global indicators of land degradation and sustainable rangeland management.
Training & Capacity Building
Implementing training programs for indigenous reindeer herding youth.
Knowledge Exchange
Creating a project knowledge hub and facilitating the exchange of good practices on land and pasture management.
