Kaitlyn Anderson of Kalispell spent the 2017-18 year studying abroad in Kyrgyztan on a Boren Scholarship. During her time there she interned with an organization that studies wild cats such as snow leopards. She lived both in the large city of Bishkek and spent time deep in the mountains. While working in remote locations, herders invited Anderson to stay in their yurts. Yurts offer herders the mobility to move around as their livestock grazes. (Photo by Kaitlyn Anderson)
