Originally from across the border, in what is now the Tuva Republic of Russia, the Tsaatan are one of the last groups of nomadic reindeer herders in the world. They survived for thousands of years inhabiting the remotest Ulaan taïga, moving between 5 to 10 times a year. As the reindeer populations shrink, only about 40 families continue the tradition today. Many have already swapped their nomadic life for urban areas. Nomadic Tsaatan community Canon 5D Mark III 24mm F/11 1/250 ISO800
