News Expert justification sent to the Directo The expert justification for why Wild Reindeer Hunting and Wild Reindeer should be given a place on UNESCO’s World Heritage List has now been produced in booklet form. The board sent the publication to the Directorate for Cultural Heritage and the Directorate for Nature Management in the middle of June. The Minister of the Environment, Helen Bjørnøy, was also given a copy during her visit to Aursjøen in July. “We are now eagerly awaiting the response,” says chair of the board, Børge Brende. The expert report contains a general description of the area, an expert assessment of how the cultural heritage sites can meet the requirements for "outstanding universal value” and justification for why the three areas Snøhetta, Rondane and Reinheimen (Reindeer Country) have been chosen. The publication also shows how the project and the area relate to other places where there are traces of reindeer hunting, and for that matter, trapping facilities for other large mammals. The publication also demonstrates how the project will make the World Heritage List more balanced and how the project relates to UNESCO's global strategy. The report can be ordered on paper from the secretariat, or it can be downloaded from our website.
