Kara-Saz (Kyrgyzstan) (AFP) – Against the pristine backdrop of the vast Kyrgyz mountains, a herd of white yaks lives in the snow, butting heads and locking horns as their herders watch on horseback. The Akmatov family have been breeding their variety of the cattle — which normally has dark-brown hair — for the past 15 years, and see their growing flock as a symbol of the white yak’s revival in a country plagued by climate woes.
