Indigenous hunting in Sápmi (IMAGE) Ökológiai Kutatóközpont Caption Traditional calendar of Sámi people of ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) hunting conflicts with the imposition of national hunting season regulations in northern Fennoscandia. Hunting is allowed to start earlier, which results in substantial disturbance towards the birds by non-local hunters. This constitutes not only an injustice towards the Sámi people, but also has impacts on the breeding success of ptarmigans.
