Are Russian reindeer herders sensitive for climate change?
To identify those aspects of climate change that Russian reindeer herders feel they are sensitive for, interviews have been done in the info (1K)Nenets Autonomous Okrug and additional areas in the years 2001-2004.

In the interviews, people that are active in reindeer herding have been asked about their experiences with a currently changing climate and how they think they might be affected by it in future. This is what they said about changes in the different seasons:
