Indigenous S\u00e1mi and Yamal reindeer herders recognize eight seasons, each holding significant importance. Variances in how Fennoscandian and northwestern Russian herders view favorable and unfavourable seasonal conditions stem from factors such as climate, geography, herd management, and the multitude of pressures on pastures at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d94906db2c2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d94906db2c2\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charter-arctic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3-300x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3-24x24.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3-36x36.jpeg 36w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3-48x48.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/1-s2.0-S1873965223001238-gr3.jpeg 535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The 8 seasons of reindeer herders across Fennoscandia, the Yamal Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Komi Republic and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug,.

Addressing these challenges requires an assessment within the context of social and economic dynamics. Reindeer herders across Fennoscandia and Russia express concerns about the future sustainability of their livelihoods. To effectively adapt to climate change and devise new strategies, herders must maintain access to pastures, preserve their mobility and adaptability, and secure their involvement in decisions regarding land use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors of this article were Roza&nbsp;Laptander,&nbsp;Tim&nbsp;Horstkotte, Joachim Otto&nbsp;Habeck,&nbsp;Sirpa&nbsp;Rasmus,&nbsp;Teresa&nbsp;Komu,&nbsp;Heidrun&nbsp;Matthes,&nbsp;Hans&nbsp;T\u00f8mmervik,&nbsp;Kirill&nbsp;Istomin,&nbsp;Jussi T.&nbsp;Eronen and&nbsp;Bruce C.&nbsp;Forbes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1873965223001238?via%3Dihub#ack0010\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1873965223001238?via%3Dihub#ack0010\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten CHARTER researchers led by the Nenets scholar Roza Laptander new article has just been published.
