“…Here, we define reindeer herding as the “control of free‐ranging animals in terrain,” while husbandry is the “accumulation of profit” (Brännlund & Axelsson, 2011). Similar to other pastoralist lifestyles, the culture of reindeer herding and husbandry is at risk from an array of threats including land‐use conflicts, shifting economic patterns, mining, large‐scale human disasters (e.g., Chernobyl), climate change, as well as predator recolonization and recovery (Bostedt, 2001; Danell, 2000; Furberg et al, 2011; Herrmann et al, 2014; Parkatti & Tahvonen, 2020; Pekkarinen et al, 2020; Rasmus et al, 2020; Skarin et al, 2018). Large carnivores, including lynx ( Lynx lynx ), wolverine ( Gulo gulo ), wolves ( Canis lupus ), and brown bears ( Ursus arctos ), have recently recovered and recolonized in parts of Europe (Chapron et al, 2014).…”

While wildlife and cultural preservation goals can be either complimentary or counteractive, the goals of large carnivore conservation and traditional pastoralist lifestyles are often at odds. Livestock depredation can negatively impact the economies of livestock herders, while subsequent lethal removals contribute to local carnivore population declines. Here, we collaborated with two S ami reindeer herding communities (2010-2016) situated in Sweden's boreal forest to evaluate the efficacy and economic feasibility of three brown bear predation mitigation measures: corralling pregnant reindeer during parturition, lethal bear management removals, and public bear-license hunting. Calving corrals increased survival for reindeer calves born to average-sized females by

Financial comparisons between rotation forestry (RF) and continuous cover forestry (CCF) are based on simulations in which the growth and yield of trees is estimated using a growth simulator. These often include an optimisation tool to present the maximum value of the objective function (usually the present value of net income). Studies have shown that the profitability of CCF depends on the initial state of a stand, especially the diameter distribution of the trees. The effect of interest discount rate also depends on the initial state. As a rule, it is safe to say that the more the forest structure resembles the target diameter distribution of the trees in CCF (i.e., a forest with heterogeneous structures), the more profitable it is to shift from RF to CCF. The more heterogeneous the tree structure on mineral soil, the higher the applied interest rate, the higher the forest establishment costs (soil preparation and cultivation), and the poorer the growth conditions (site type and temperature sum), the more profitable CCF is. Few studies have been found that focus on peatland forests. Future financial studies should also consider risks associated with wind, harvesting, and insect and fungus damage as well as carbon payments and nontimber benefits
