Climate Change Impact Assessment in Yamal Peninsula - Web Video (German Subtitles)
Yamal peninsula, North Siberia, Russia, August 2016: Alexej Nejanga is a Nenet, living on the Yamal peninsula in Northern Russia. The Nenets live there for thousands of years and move through their country. Now the climate change is threatening their nomadic lives and their livelihood - the reindeer herds. In summer soaring Arctic temperatures have led to an outbreak of anthrax in the Yamal peninsula, Russia, triggered by unusually warm weather and the thawing of permafrost that once covered contaminated cemeteries and animal burial grounds. Alexej lost most of his reindeer herd, hundreds of Nenets were evacuated, 97 were brought to the hospital and one child died. Alexej Nejanga tells how soldiers came, shut off the area and the Nenets were evacuated. A Greenpeace Russia team arrived to the region to investigate the impact of climate change on the environment and indigenous life, but the expedition came to an abrupt end as Russian authorities made access to the affected areas impossible.
