  Traditional Sami Knowledge of Predators and Swedish Environmental Policy
 
 
Title: Traditional Sami Knowledge of Predators and Swedish Environmental Policy
Author: Torp, Eivind
Appeared in: Acta borealia
Paging: Volume 18 (2001) nr. 2 pages 3-22
Year: 2001
Contents: From a background in documenting traditional Sami knowledge of major predators, the author discusses the conflict of interests between Sami reindeer herding and Swedish environmental policy on the matter of governmental administration of predators. The author argues that a recognition of the fact that different cultures see and relate to nature and the countryside from different standpoints and within different frames of reference is missing in today's debate in Sweden. According to the author this could lead to a situation of eco-colonialism if Sami experiences and apprehensions are not taken into account in Swedish environmental policy.
