Description: High in the remote mountains of northern Mongolia, one of the world’s last human–reindeer partnerships endures. Archaeologist and researcher Dr. William Taylor explores the lives of Mongolia’s reindeer herders — a nomadic people who still ride, depend on, and revere these extraordinary animals.For generations, reindeer have provided milk, meat, and cheese, sustaining families in one of the harshest environments on Earth. But today, melting ice and shifting climates are threatening the delicate balance that has kept this ancient bond alive. This episode uncovers how tradition, survival, and spirit intertwine in a story that’s as fragile as the frozen lands these herders call home.Dr. Taylors Book and Ted Talk links:https://www.amazon.com/dp/0520380673https://www.ted.com/talks/william_t_taylor_how_the_mongols_used_horses_to_create_an_empirewww.furrealpodcast.comig@thefurrealpodcast ig@markakylefb@ Mark A Kyle tik tok@ The Fur Real PodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
