This book considers a number of problems posed by ungulates and their management in Europe. Through a synthesis of the underlying biology and a comparison of the management techniques adopted in different countries, the book explores which management approaches seem effective - and in which circumstances. Experts in a number of different areas of applied wildlife biology review various management problems and alternative solutions, including the impact of large ungulates on agriculture, forestry and conservation habitats, the impact of disease and predation on ungulate populations and the involvement of ungulates in road traffic accidents and possible measures for mitigation. This book is directed at practising wildlife managers, those involved in research to improve methods of wildlife management, and policy-makers in local, regional and national administrations.

This book is the first to explore the diversity of management objectives and the different approaches to wildlife management of large ungulates in a wide range of different European countries. Specialist authors from each country present an analysis of the species present, numerical status and distribution of different ungulates which occur in their particular country and consider issues which must be addressed by management (whether management for conservation, for control of damaging impacts or for exploitation). Management systems are described (and both legislative and administrative structures) together with an evaluation of how effective current management practices may be in addressing problems identified - or the extent to which they may contribute to those problems. The book is aimed primarily at those who may be actively involved in research into improving methods of wildlife management; practising wildlife managers and game-keepers; policy makers in local regional or national administrations, responsible for formulating policies.

The Long Journey by Reidar Andersen and Olav Strand is a compelling exploration of the deep ecological and evolutionary relationship between humans and reindeer, tracing their interconnected history from the Palaeolithic Ice Age to the present day. This thought-provoking work blends archaeology, climate science, and environmental history to reveal how both species migrated across continents and ultimately became mutually dependent across Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.The book follows the extraordinary migration of reindeer from South America through North America and Beringia into Eurasia, eventually reaching Europe via the Ural Mountains. In parallel, humans emerged from Africa and expanded into Europe from the south. Despite originating in vastly different environments—one adapted to icy tundra, the other to sun-driven landscapes—humans and reindeer forged an unexpected and enduring bond.For over 500,000 years, migrating reindeer herds played a vital role in human survival, sustaining multiple human species during Ice Age conditions and providing essential resources during periods of extreme climate stress. Archaeological and ecological evidence highlights this long-standing interdependence, particularly in Arctic survival strategies.Today, however, climate change, rising temperatures, and habitat loss are threatening reindeer populations and the traditional herding cultures that depend on them. The Long Journey also examines this urgent reversal of roles, where humans must now work to protect the very species that once ensured their survival, making it a timely reflection on climate resilience, conservation, and human–wildlife interdependence.
