Russia's Reindeer Herders
Yes, almost like the Eskimos in Alaska
The 435-mile-long Yamal Peninsula in Russia's Siberia is one of the world's last great wildernesses and home to the nomadic Nenet tribes. For centuries, the Nenet have herded their domesticated reindeer to summer pastures above the Arctic Circle. But now, the Nenet‟s traditional way of life is threatened by warming temperatures.
A Nenet herder prepares to lasso a reindeer. The Nenet culture relies on reindeer for food and clothing. Herds have been impacted, however, by the changing climate. The delay of the annual migration south means less fresh pasture for the herds to feed on before spring.

Affects of Climate Change on People and Their Lifestyle
Ahead of the global climate talks in December 2009, nine photographers from the photo agency NOOR photographed climate stories from around the world. Their goal: to document some of the causes and consequences, from deforestation to changing sea levels, as well as the people whose lives and jobs are part of the carbon culture.
The Nenets travel with herds of domesticated reindeer, using lassos when it's time to slaughter one.
A Nenet family shares raw reindeer with pasta. A typical family slaughters a reindeer every couple of weeks.
Nanets

Nenet families live on the tundra in reindeer-skin tents. Until recently, the Nenets crossed the frozen Ob River in November to set up camps farther south. But the pilgrimage is now usually delayed until late December when the river ice is thick enough to cross.

The Yamal Peninsula stretches deep into the Arctic Ocean. In the language of the Nenet, Yamal means “world‟s end.” Like much of the Arctic, Yamal has been locked in permafrost, land that was thought to be in deep freeze. But the permafrost is thawing in places, and if the thaw goes deep and last long enough, the land will release methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide.

Firewood is gathered for a Nenet campsite. The peninsula is 1,250 miles northeast of Moscow, and the Nenets migrate north to south more than 100 miles every year, spending only a few days in one place, living off reindeer and fish.
