  • Summary

    The research on the ecological restoration of reindeer lichen pastures described in this chapter relates the dynamic and complex endeavour of different actors through the coproduction of knowledge. First initiated by forest managers and forest ecologists, it soon became transdisciplinary when Sami reindeer herders collaborated, combining science and Indigenous knowledge to solve a problem in which neither were sufficient by themselves. However, the complex challenge of restoring reindeer lichen pastures in productive forest lands required an interdisciplinary and intersubjective understanding of the various partners’ worldviews and knowledge. This was materialized by fostering a collaborative learning process through experimentation, i.e., controlled field experiments that were jointly designed, established and surveyed. The results of these experiments and experiences enabled the exploration of innovative pathways for ecological restoration and to refine and share common goals.
