Global warming in Siberia
Jelena Taiberi collects firewood for cooking. Reindeers threatened by starvation get extra attention and care by living close to the family settlement. Salechard, Russia. January 17, 2018.
The Taliberi family lives in a tent on the tundra, five kilometers south of Salechard in North-Western Siberia. They belong to the Nenets people. The group has survived Russian colonialism and the Soviet era - but global warming could be their ruin.
She became a staff photographer at Dagens Nyheter, Sweden’s largest morning paper, in 1993. For the last 20 years she has worked in many different positions at Bonnier Mediahouse: Picture Editor, Head of Graphics Department, Chief Photo Editor, News Editor, and Head of the Visual Department and a member of the Editorial leadership.
From 2013 she has been part of Dagens Nyheters visual department and mainly works as a visual story teller in both still pictures and video. Her focus on climate change, freedom of speech, non-discrimination and human rights has taken her on assignments to all parts of the World.
