Mongolian nomads’ ultimate dilemma | SLICE I Full documentary

Nomads in Mongolia have always had an intimate relationship with wolves, and travelled with the wild canines. But as the Mongolian economy has boomed drastically, a dilemma is imposed upon the nomads; maintain their relationships with nature, or cave in to the overwhelming force of the economy.
Faced with the conundrum is a shepherd Purevjav. Wolves have been killing his livestock to feed themselves, and Purevjav is well aware of the value the wolves’ pelts hold if exported. To sustain his family, Purevjav is pressed to hunt the pack of wolves he considers scared.

We will destroy everything including ourselves if we allow the worst among us to control this beautiful and wonderful world we live in.

Mongolia nomadic way of life will not vanish. They lived in a steppe region. The land of grazing lifestyle. Unlike Bonanza who owns a cattle ranch. This herders will round up the livestock and move em out to greener pastures.

Exactly! Raw and simple living. No other issues, than only make shure you eat and stay warm, with functional clothes. No make up, panties, fashion hysteria and unnatural beauty tirany. No phones, no laptop, no useless things you learn... Kids who are not left to nannies when mother works, dad works. All day long staying with your family and close bonded. No crying hysterical children and frustrating tantrums. No adhd, and other mental problems, no psychiatrists, and a 1000 other things that bother them. Simple, transparent living. Simple things to be and stay grounded and feeling of belonging. I guess suicidal thoughts and depressions are low. When sick, people help eachother, because everybody is present and not working somewhere else all day and absent. Indeed a life worth living.

[@Yosef9438]

Exactly how we evolved to live, you mean. Humans are plains-dwelling, nomadic apes at our roots.

One of the most remarkable and touching documentaries I have ever watched on the Mongolian nomadic people, this touched my heart ❤ and made me 😢 as well. What a difficult life and these lovely people are so in tune with their animals and the land. Here in Canada we have domestic and stray animals put down in large numbers, not to mention all the strays because we are too selfish to look after them properly. This old man is a real treasure. He could teach us westerners alot about life and love of mankind and animals. ❤ from 🇨🇦 Canada and thanks for this most beautiful documentary 😊

Never take the money, or sell your pastures. You will never be able to replace the freedom, or self reliance you have on the steppes. You are heroes to those of us who have lost everything, and are forced into cities. If you quit, this life will be gone forever. The people need you, for who you are.

Nothing can stop people from pursuing a better life, but if they don't drive away the wolf pack, the sheep will be eaten. If there were no wolf packs. There are more and more rabbits on the grassland, and they ultimately dominate the grassland. Only by mastering balance can one obtain eternal wealth. For humans, the most important thing is to protect them, not wolf packs.
