The tundra in Central and East Asia is a very cold region in which most people would find it difficult to survive. However, certain nomadic groups have lived in the region for hundreds of year. These groups include herders from Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. One of the most important devices used by these groups for survival was a basic living structure known as a yurt. A yurt is a temporary home made out of wooden frames and felt. It provides good insulation and can be moved from one location to the next. Some groups still use these structures today; however, the region’s government is making more difficult for these groups to move around and is trying to get them to settle in one location.
Nomadic travelers in central and east Asia were able to survive the harsh conditions of the tundras by adapting to the harsh environment that is engulfing the area or region. Also they keep moving with their hut or shelter and also may uses oxen for transportation and carrying logistics.
