Siberia: Gazprom, a pipeline and the last nomads

The Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic is the heart of the Russian energy empire. It is home to the world's largest natural gas reserves. But this is also where the migration routes of the Nenets run. Is their habitat being destroyed? The gas deposits have made the region rich. But the Nenets see little benefit. An estimated 70 percent of the indigenous population live below the poverty line. The Nenets are not complaining. They know that they would lose a fight against the government.
