Collaboration on small game and fish in Arjeplogsfjällen

Rádestit

The local actors who participated in the project Rádestit - Local collaboration in Arjeplog, are now moving forward, developing and ensuring a continuation of the collaboration they started. This is through the Leader project Rádestit - collaboration on small game and fish in the Arjeplog mountains.

The aim of the implementation project is to form and establish the Rádestit Cooperative Association by adopting statutes and other necessary governing documents, holding an annual general meeting, and investigating the possible future operation of the association. A basis will be developed for local takeover of management when this becomes possible. A concept for voluntary local accreditation for organizers of sustainable hunting and fishing tourism will be developed and tested by at least three organizers. In addition, at least one mountain fishing forum and one small game forum will be organized. Rádestit is the Pite Sami word for consultation.

The aim of the project is to help strengthen and develop Arjeplog as an attractive living environment, where the Sámi as an indigenous people and other actors in the local community are included and given joint opportunities in a local collaborative solution.
