Photographer Visits Lost Mongolian Tribe, Captures Stunning Photos Of Their Life And Culture

Human civilization has come a long way since the early days of our species. Rising out of caves and undeveloped lands, humans have built cities and homes that the early generations could never have imagined.

The government declared the Tsaatans' hunting ground a part of the national protected parks. It's now off-limits so they can't hunt anymore, he says. As compensate, according to Sardar-Afkhami, each family was paid about $150. It's a bit sad because these are traditional hunters and the reindeer need to move. When you pay them off like that, you're destroying a part of their culture. To further add to the Dukhas' woes, the number of the reindeer they're so dependent on has dwindled dramatically due to diseases and lack of available treatment.
