Human interference and its impact on wildlife and nature has, in the modern world, led to a destruction of habitat and poses a serious threat to many plants and species and their way of life. The Nenets, indigenous nomads in Siberia (Russia), seem to have found a balance to co-exist with reindeer they herd by maintaining a deep respect for them. While they rely on reindeer for food, clothing & tools, they also know each by face and/or name and take care of them like their own pets.
