The autumn migration instead takes place from the month of September, when the reindeer leave the summer grazing areas to reach the wintering areas.
Again, migration it can last a long time and cover long distances.
As reindeer migration is increasingly influenced by human activities, such as infrastructure construction and mining, this may lead to changes in traditional reindeer migration patterns. AND reindeer in Norway have already started moving due to climate change.
