The Tsaatan people are one of the world’s last groups of nomadic reindeer herders and they live in Khövsgöl Aimag in northern Mongolia. They are originally from across the border in what is now the Tuva republic of Russia. (Photo by Pascal Mannaerts/Rex Feature/Shutterstock)





Mannaerts’ photos show the daily life of the tribe. He says: “The Tsaatan have survived for thousands of years inhabiting the remotest Ulaan taïga (mountain range), moving between five and 10 times a year”. (Photo by Pascal Mannaerts/Rex Feature/Shutterstock)
