"I can not ask my father what to do, because he has not seen this; it has happened throughout his life."

 It may be December, but about 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle is still not enough for the northern boreal to set up an annual migration.

Native Sami animals have raised animals for generations, which usually lasts more than two weeks in November.

But this year the tradition was postponed because the temperature is rising below the freezing mark.

"Nothing is really wrong with nature," said Nila Inga, 37, who lives in the north of the Swedish city of Scotland. "I can not ask my father what to do, because he has not seen this; it has happened throughout his life."

According to the World Meteorological Organization, it has been the warmest in the world for four years.

Breeding reindeer in the Arctic countries includes Norway, Russia and China. The 2009 report on the future of the operation states that there are 3,000 Red Crescent herds in Sweden and a total of around 100,000 worldwide.

This is a family business. Inga said that when he was 18 years old, he was at the age of 18, working alongside 17 full-time herds of the community, including his cousins ​​and his nephews.

Every September, reindeer collected and killed for meat. This is the main source of income for livestock breeders.

After killing, the remaining deer remain in the wild until the migration of winter to the east leads to a better land than pastures. For Inga, this is a trip of over 62 miles.

The horse breeders trap animals in snowmobiles, spend the night in the cabin along the way. The children receive time from the school to participate in the process.

"Everything is grown on the reindeer and the reindeer," said Inga. "That's what you are born and raised."

But Inga, who also heads the Swedish Swami Association, believes "something is changing."

Snow is essential for any aspect of cattle breeding live reindeer, so this sudden winter frosting cycle is a problem.

Research shows that the effects of global warming on the poles are strengthened and the average air temperature is faster than in the rest of the world. According to the National Snow and Ice Center in Colorado, this results in the rapid loss of ice. It is expected to be late for the Scandanavian region this winter and ice formation will be lower than the average.

The herdsmen need snow to travel through the wilderness. Snow also makes it easier for Sami to trap deer and hunters.

Most importantly, snow cover effects. A delayed winter can seem like a good thing, Inga said, allowing the cemetery to take more time to the mountains. But it can also lead to deer, which destroys plants and floods.

Research supports the changes Samy sees. Gunhild Rosquist, professor of geography at the University of Stockholm, is part of a team studying the changing landscape of the Arctic, including the loss of glacial ice acceleration in the Scandinavian mountains.

Rosquist is currently working with herdsmen to study how climate change affects animals.

Animals migrate to new areas - in spite of roads and other developments blocking their paths, which, in turn, makes herders change their way of life, he said.

The expansion of the mining, wind energy and tourism fields across northern Sweden reduces existing land.

The whole city of Kiruna is forced to move due to the neighboring iron mine.

"The total pressure and climatic changes really put some of these communities at risk," Washington said.

The migration of reindeer is just one of the many symptoms of warm weather.

This summer the highest peak in Sweden was lost due to the freezing of the glacier, while an unprecedented 61.775 hectares of fire throughout the country was among the hot and dry stagnation conditions.

He said a large part of the glaciers near the North Rosquist research station were unexpectedly broken up in a frozen frozen area, he said.

"This is an emergency," Rosiequist added. "The ecosystem is very delicate."

Despite the rapid changes to the landscape, the Sami are trying to adapt. She said shepherds discuss how to do this, if the land can not provide enough food for the moose.

"We do not want to feed them because it's not natural and part of our culture," Inga said. He said the deer is semi-homemade and eating can dramatically change their behavior. It can also affect the quality of meat.

Sanya Vannar, chairman of the Sami Seminurana Youth Association, said members hope to continue the traditions of their fathers.

The association has joined 10 families across Europe and Africa, which has been launched against the EU in May to contain climate change emissions.

The lawsuit specifically addresses the challenges posed by North Sea reindeer related to finding food due to the warming climate, with consequences for Sami culture and livelihoods.

"It really is for young parents of young deer because they have to think about the weather every day," Venar said. "I can not see my life without a deer."
