Projektmål

- More wild forest reindeer will be collared in both the Kainuu and the Suomenselkä regions, and their calving and calf mortality rates will be monitored as before. - More large carnivores will be collared in Kainuu and intensive monitoring of large carnivores will be organised. - Cooperation with the FGFRI?s large carnivore research will be expanded and deepened. Combining large carnivore research data with wild forest reindeer data will enable an analysis of the conditions for the co-existence of large mammals in Kainuu. - Possible transplantation of wild forest reindeer will be planned on the basis of habitat analyses, for example.

Resultat

Resultat och påverkan

The results will be published on the FGFRI website and in relevant publications. The information obtained helps to manage the wild forest reindeer population in such a way that its decline is halted and to plan the assessments of the wild forest reindeer population in such a way that they produce as accurate information as possible at a reasonable cost. The information can also be used to plan possible transplantations of wild forest reindeer.
