5000 years of nomadic communities are under great threat in Mongolia. A lifestyle where humans coexisted with nature is rapidly disappearing. The Dukha are indigenous people and reindeer nomads. They live in northern Mongolia in sub-arctic landscape called Taiga. They move encampments several times during a year. For thousands of years they have survived by wild hunt. Now they are forced to eat their own reindeer. The world has reached the northern Mongolia. It threatens them. There are only 44 families left who live a nomadic life with their reindeers. Dukha nomads are an ethnic minority group in Mongolia.
