Habitat Loss - All Results

STATISTICS ON HABITAT LOSS & ITS DRIVERS

Here you can explore all results by wild reindeer area & seasons

@ NINA / camera mounted on GPS collar

The Dashboard (or, web app) below makes avialble maps and statistics about habitat suitability, habiat loss, and the consequences of habitat loss, for each 100x100 meters in all the 24 wild reindeer management areas in Norway, for different seasons (winter, calving, summer)[1,2].

This was done on commission from the Norwegian Environment Agency, in support to ongoing management processess (villrein Kvalitetsnorm - Delnorm 3A [3]).

You can select the area and season of interest, and see maps and statistics on:

Habitat quality, habitat loss, human footprint, and naturally unsuitable areas. The first page displays all wild reindeer managmetn area areas ranked by habiat loss
Causes of habitat loss - grouped into main sectors (tourism, buildings and transportation, hydropower), and as single drivers (e.g. main roads, smaller roads, private cabins, tourist cabins, ski tracks..)
