Tsaatan Nomads (Mongolia)
Tsaatan people are reindeer herders and live in northern
Khövsgöl Aimag of Mongolia. 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.
