Abstract
This paper surveys external ecological factors that have an impact on the population of wild reindeer on the Taimyr Peninsula. These factors are estimated according to their influence on the abundance of the reindeer population. The key factors are examined with relation to bioenergetics. The population conservation strategy in view of the potential resumption of anthropogenic influence due to further industrial development of Taimyr is proposed.
