Reindeer of Sakhalin

Description
The reindeer of Sakhalin Island, located in the Russian Far East, are a vital part of the region's cultural and ecological landscape. These majestic animals have been integral to the indigenous Nivkh, Uilta, and Evenk peoples for centuries, providing transportation, food, and materials for clothing and shelter. Adapted to the harsh climates of the island, Sakhalin reindeer are robust and resilient, thriving in environments that range from taiga forests to tundra. They migrate seasonally in search of food, primarily lichen, which sustains them during the long, cold winters. Reindeer herding remains a significant traditional practice on Sakhalin, blending ancient customs with modern techniques to ensure the sustainability of these herds in the face of environmental and economic challenges.
