“…Because of a set of reasons, including those related to pastures size, rough landscape and the type of herding (i.e. so-called herd-following) (Anderson et al, 2014), regular winter and summer pastures are not fenced as a rule, with only several exceptions, such as, for instance, those observed in Finland where seasonal pastures are separated by grazing cycle fences (Reindeer Herders' Association, 2014).…”

“…The use of temporary electric fences, that may become more realistic with local 3-D printing manufacturing of the plastic fence patterns (such as insulators and others), provides more efficient protection from predators such as wolves, bears and lynxes (Knipe, 1985) threatening both calves and adult reindeer (Anderson et al, 2014;Godkin, 1986;Sami Statistics, 2010;Tyler et al, 2007). This can be a significant benefit.…”

Purpose -Isolated communities face a variety of inconveniences including severe remoteness, poor roads and extreme climate conditions, resulting in the lack of security of supply chains and exorbitant prices for cargo delivery. This paper aims to investigate the present advantages and prospects of applying 3-D printing to improve economics and everyday life of remote communities, reindeer herder case taken as an example.Design/methodology/approach -This study covers the use of a low-cost open-source 3-D printer (RepRap) capable of fused filament fabrication to reduce operating costs for nomadic reindeer herder groups. Three case studies are provided for reindeer-specific applications to probe economic and technical viability of the technology, namely, ear-tags, electric fence components and lasso accessories.Findings -3-D printed objects feature technical characteristics similar to those of analogues available on the market while reducing the price by 63 per cent. Distributed 3-D printing reduces the cost of raw materials by 68 per cent and shipping costs by 50 because of lower trip frequency. If all reindeer herders globally were to adopt distributed manufacturing of the three aforementioned sample items only, their annual savings from such solution would amount to US$2m. The paper discovers other economic, entrepreneurial, technical and environmental opportunities offered by 3-D printing put to service the needs of remote communities.Research limitations -As the paper is the first-ever study of 3-D printing potential applied to the reindeer husbandry case, it is based on a more thorough analysis of the techno-economic feasibility of the technology, while cultural and entrepreneurial factors have been discussed as preconditions only.Practical implications -The paper might serve as a valuable source of information for entrepreneurs, as well as for students and academics for further case studies in this area.Originality/value -In remote conditions, 3-D printing offers a more sustainable way of good manufacturing. Numerous open source designs already available for specialists, financial effectiveness, environmental benefits and vast opportunities for entrepreneurs are among the most promising advantages of the technology. Paper type Case studyThe authors appreciate invaluable information on the details of reindeer husbandry provided by community representatives of Ust-Nukzha village, Russia, and reindeer herders Vladimir A. Nickolaev and Galina S. Nickolaeva in particular.This paper forms part of a special section "Entrepreneurial co-creation: a call for fresh ideas and innovative", guest edited by Hans Kaufmann and S.M. Riad Shams.

“…Recently, anthropologist David Anderson and his archaeologist colleagues emphasized the importance of another dimension of the herding community: landscape agency. Distinctive sites in the landscape attract both people and animals and make their coexistence possible, which in turn reshapes the landscape itself (Anderson, Ineshin, Kulagina, Laventa & Vinkovskaya ). The conclusion to be drawn from these studies is that pastoral communities should be understood as hybrid triadic associations of humans, animals, and the landscape, which construct a specific socioecological niche by their mutual interaction.…”

The rise of reindeer pastoralism in Northern Eurasia: human and animal motivations entangled

Explanatory models of how domestic animals entered human societies often focus on human choices and overlook the role of animal agency in this process. After discussing the dichotomy between nature and society in these models and in anthropology, this article examines the respective roles of animal and human motivations and agencies in the advent of reindeer pastoralism in the Eurasian Arctic. Based on recent multidisciplinary approaches, it hypothesizes an intensification process whereby reciprocal adaptations by reindeer and people gave rise to new hybrid herding socialities. It proposes a holist interpretation that takes account of the triadic nature of the ‘pastoral niche’, characterized by an interaction between humans, animals, and the landscape.

“…Так, концентрация домашних животных в одном месте приводит к изменению растительности, эрозии почв, заболачиванию территории. Подобные изменения хорошо прослеживаются на примере оленеводства (Anderson et al 2014). Сильно меняют ландшафт технические инновации, новые средства передвижения, а также добыча полезных ископаемых.…”

The Practices of Appropriation of Space by East-Siberian Evenkis: Pragmatic Use of Anthropogenic Landscape and Infrastructure

На примере процесса вторичного использования ресурсов в статье рассматриваются практики приспособления эвенками инфраструктуры, созданной в рамках проектов индустриального развития, а также описываются общие принципы освоения пространства охотниками, рыболовами и оленеводами Восточной Сибири. Делается вывод, что в повседневных практиках эвенков граница между антро погенным и природным ландшафтом носит условный характер. Использование инфраструктуры эвенками-результат серии перемещений, являющихся частью рефлексивного процесса. В последние годы произошли существенные изменения в практиках мобильности эвенков. Возникает своеобразный парадокс современности. Несмотря на то что новые технические средства позволяли интенсифицировать перемещения, количество перекочевок стало уменьшаться. При этом увеличилось число маятниковых перемещений между местами интенсивного использования: охотники и оленеводы стали чаще посещать населенные пункты, базы и другие центры хранения вещей и распределения ресурсов. В результате материальные объекты и имущество концентрировались в подобных местах, что создало необходимость периодически туда возвращаться. Во многих местах роль центров распределения стали выполнять оставленные геологами и вахтовиками поселки. Эвенки активно использовали оставшуюся в них инфраструктуру, адаптировав ее для выполнения своих повседневных задач.
