In Norway, the breeding of reindeers is a secular tradition which once was at the core of the Sami culture, the native Lapp people of the North. The effects of climate change are dramatically affecting their semi nomadic way of life. Today, less than 10 % of the households still live on this activity. Since the 1990s, the breeders lost about 90 % of their livestock because of the continuous increase of temperatures, the shortening of the icy season. These changes have also affected the migratory paths of the reindeers and the breeders have no choice but to raise the herds in farms to keep the activity profitable.
