Report request: I work as a climate researcher at an environmental conservation institute and I am charged with compiling a report about the impact of climate change on the Nenets people. The goal of the report is to inform our advocacy efforts on behalf of indigenous peoples.
I need information to assist me in writing a report about how shifting climate patterns are affecting the Nenets people and their traditional reindeer herding practices. I am interested in environmental, social, or cultural consequences that may threaten their way of life.
