Sammendrag
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are
the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial
species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly
and indirectly affected by the seasonal nature of the
northernmost regions, human development and population
size; all of which are impacted by climate change.
We review the most critical drivers of Rangifer migration
and how a rapidly changing Arctic may affect them. In
order to conserve large Rangifer populations, they must be
allowed free passage along their migratory routes to reach
seasonal ranges. We also provide some pragmatic ideas to
help conserve Rangifer migrations into the future.
