Can you do it with Traditional Ecological Knowledge among people that are herdsmen or hunters? Do you know any researcher or read any articles about this topic?
I think that climate changes can promote at the first stage little changes in the forage plants used in the diet of the reindeer/caribou, and in the advantage stages the species must be forced to modified the space use, will need migrate to other areas never used... I don't know. I hope that field biologists in north hemisphere has thinking about that, and call atention for that, like you.
Try to ask Dr. Leonid Kolpashchikov about your question. He has been studying reindeerfor many years kolpak46(at)norcom.ru

It is a 25 pages report entitled (The relationship between the biodiversity conservation and the traditional beliefs of the native people in Dalai Lake Biosphere Reserve).
I like recommendations 4 & 5 in the report.
