One Woman's Herd

Jaina Koken, a herder in western Mongolia, pokes her head out of her kïiz üy—the Kazah word for a felt house—in the Altai district of the Bayan Ulgii province. For Koken and other herders, their livestock—which include sheep, horses, and yaks—provide both income and sustenance. But increasingly extreme temperatures wreak havoc on livestock, and weaker animals often perish when their rain-soaked coats freeze overnight.
