I am researching modes of environmental governance
that effectively respond to biodiversity conservation as well as
the social justice issues of Indigenous peoples. I camped with
Indigenous Sámi reindeer herders at Pietsjaure, a summer
reindeer herding camp in the Laponia World Heritage Area, arctic
Sweden, to investigate their involvement in the management of the
WHA. Sámi have been hunting and herding reindeer in Laponia
for 7,000 years.
