The Chinggis Khan Foundation (CKF)
partners with different organizations
to support environmental and ecological
projects such as:
The Totem Peoples Preservation
Project, developed by the
non-profit organization Cultural Survival,
is an international initiative dedicated
to supporting the sustainability of
indigenous nomadic cultures, their
totem livestock and their ecological
habitats in Eastern Siberia and northern
Mongolia, by providing direct aid
to the Tsaatan, nomadic herders. CKF’s
donations are utilized to procure
vitally needed veterinary medicines
and expertise in the field for artificial
insemination to improve breeding stock
of threatened reindeer, and to continue
herder training for livestock management
of value to native, nomadic herders.
CKF is working to develop a craft
center in the tsaatan areas to assist
the local groups in broadening their
economic base and expanding responsible
tourism activities. For additional
