Traditional nature management in the North as a technological culture of the Arctic subcivilization: from past to future

This article examines thehistorical andcurrent state of the subcivilization in the Russiansector of the Arcticand Subarctic, which is rooted in reindeer husbandry and other forms of environmental-based traditional northern environental management.The preservation anddevelopmentof this subcivilization in modern conditionsis closely linked to the organizational and economic modernization, as well as the technological re-equipment, of all sectors of tradi tional Northern Natural Resource Management. Examples include the biotechnological advancement of traditionalenvironmental managementin the North,which enhances the economic viabilityof its industries while improving the quality of life in the region. Another key resource in Northeast Eurasia is the natural cold, which is a unique and fundamental feature of thecoldest inhabited region ontheplanetwith the lowest temperature and most stable permafrost. The development of modern technologies for preserving permafrostin the conditions of climate change and increased economic activity in the Arctic has the potential to significantly impact the development of subcivilization in the Northeast of Russia.
