Page "Rondane National Park" Paragraph 19

Rondane is one of the few places in Scandinavia and Europe where wild reindeer ( as opposed to the domestic breed ) are found.

The Directorate for Nature Management regards Rondane as " especially important as a life supporting area for the native reindeer ".

It is estimated that approximately 2000 to 4000 reindeer live in Rondane and the nearby Dovre area.

To protect the reindeer population in their core area, during hiking trails have been moved.

The park was also enlarged in 2003 to provide increased protection for the reindeer.
