Yamal herders propose to move with their herds from the tundra to the taiga. Thus in the region are moving in the taiga reindeer herding and skorodnoe the contents of deer. This measure should reduce the burden on the tundra territory and contribute to the restoration of pastures, told the correspondent of IA REGNUM in the press service of the government of Yamal.

As previously reported to the Director of the Department for science and innovations of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous district Aleksey Titovskiy, assessment of renambot of pastures is not carried out on the Yamal Peninsula since the Soviet era. At the moment this work is carried out. The problem of overgrazing in the area escalated, not today. If the summer green forage for the deer enough in the winter from reindeer moss, in the spring — the cases of weak animals.

Skorodnoe reindeer herding, according to experts, will allow to let out to pasture a certain number of deer, while maintaining the food base. For starters, the transfer will be made reindeer brigades of municipal enterprise of the Yamal area in the forest zone of Nadymsky district, as well as the organization shortname of keeping reindeer in the southern part of the Tazovsky district. For shortnose content of deer found in the area of the river Ureda-Jaha near the village of Novospassky. It is planned to construct 40 km of fence which is to be fed about 500 deer.

According to the Professor of the Tyumen state University Alexander Yuzhakov, which he expressed in his scientific work "the Northern reindeer XXI century: genetic resource, cultural heritage and business", the cost of one kilometer of a heavy metal fence in the forest is not less than 500 thousand rubles.

"The return on this hedge is problematic, but it seems to us that no economy should be the basis of motivation of the transition to skorodnoe content, and improving the quality of life", — writes in his Alexander Yuzhakov.

For crossing reindeer herds from the North to the South, the government of Yamal tundra provides grant support. The amount of grants is not yet known.

The tundra-dwellers in the group "Ecology of reindeer herding" of the network Facebook expressed the view that they are being driven to the South for the liberation of deposits from the tundra with their reindeer.

"The gas companies say that all deposits are located on fertile pastures, reindeer moss and near wintering holes. And herders ascertain that the vegetation has deteriorated in the areas of crafts, was not as nutritious as before. And science performs work for the money, the energy, and therefore writes that the deer are all trampled," writes the Director of the charity Foundation for development of indigenous peoples Cavernicoli Nerkagi.

According to the press service of the government of Yamal, the region has more than 760 thousand heads of domesticated reindeer. Of these, 7% deer contained in state and municipal ownership, 34% in private ownership, private farms, almost 60% of the deer.
