Welcome to the website for The Norwegian Wild Reindeer Foundation and The Wild Reindeer Council. This site will provide you with information regarding history, biology, management, threats to the populations and other useful topics. Norway has an international responsibility to preserve the population of wild reindeer. Thousands of years ago these animals roamed big parts of the European continent and Eurasia. Most of the remaining population today can be found in Norway. The Norwegian wild reindeer foundation was established in 2006, with the main objective of promoting the preservation and sustainable management of the wild reindeer populations and the wild reindeer mountains in Norway. The foundation has two operational entities: Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre South at Skinnarbu in Tinn municipality, and the Norwegian Wild Reindeer Centre North at Hjerkinn in Dovre municipality.
The Wild Reindeer Council in Norway is a voluntary organisation consisting of most of the wild reindeer boards and wild reindeer committees from all 23 of Norway’s wild reindeer areas. The Wild Reindeer Council works to protect wild reindeer as a species as well as attending to its needs in a long-term perspective.
