The Yakuts (Sakha people) are an ethnic group native to the Sakha Republic in Northeast Asia, a region characterized by harsh climates and diverse biomes including taiga and tundra.
Traditionally, the Yakuts practiced horse breeding, cattle rearing, and in the northern regions, reindeer herding. Reindeer herding is strongly associated with the Tundra and northern Taiga environments. Gobi, Sahara, and Kalahari are deserts in other continents and are not associated with the Yakuts.
The Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is the largest subnational entity in the world by area and covers vast territories of Siberia, extending into the Arctic regions which include significant Tundra zones. Their traditional lifestyle, particularly reindeer herding, places them in the context of the Tundra biome.
