The Yamal peninsula in Siberia is 272 miles long and considered to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is also home to the Nenet tribe who make their living from reindeer breeding. Their houses and clothes are made from reindeer skin. There are a few thousand herdsmen on the peninsula who have herds of more than 500,000 reindeer. Their traditional way of life is being threatened by global warming and climate change.
