When I was deep in the northern regions of Mongolia, I learned about the tradition of eagle hunting. The bond between the Kazakh hunters and their magnificent golden eagles is a testament to the power of trust and respect these people have with nature as they hunt for food.
During the harsh winter months, when survival hinges on the ability to secure food, the eagles accompany their human counterparts to hunt foxes and wolves. Symbolizing the essential role they play, female golden eagles are preferred over their male counterparts due to them being more fierce and aggressive hunters.
After years of hunting, these majestic creatures are released back into the wild so that they can give birth to a new generation of eagles. This photo reflects the deep respect and honor the Mongolians hold for all aspects of their food sources, reminding me of the delicate balance between man, animal, and nature.
