Reindeer in Mongolia Covered on VOA
ITGEL founder Morgan Keay with Tsataan herders
The work of the Itgel Foundation was covered in a recent Voice of America radio programme. The Tsataan are an indigenous people living in Northern Mongolia, south of the Sayan mountains in Russia, the region from which reindeer husbandry is said to have originated. Small herd size, poor economic prospects and diminished herd health along with a host of other issues, many of which are shared with other reindeer peoples, are faced by the Tsataan. The US and Mongolia based Itgel Foundation have been working for several years to address these challenges through a community centred approach.
