Last month our speaker Kah Wai Lin told us about the work he dow with Wild Camel. In case you missed it, or if you are looking for more information, here it is:
Mission: The sole aim of the Wild Camel Protection Foundation is to protect the endangered wild camel (Camelus ferus) and its habitat in the fragile and unique desert ecosystems in the Gobi and Gashun Gobi deserts in north-west China and south-west Mongolia. It is the only charitable environmental foundation in the world, which exclusively targets the protection of the endangered wild camel and its unique desert habitat.
Work: More recently, work has begun on a second breeding center at Toli Bulag, also located within the buffer zone of Protected Area ‘A’. This new facility will provide greater capacity for captive breeding and, for genetic and biosecurity reasons. The center will eventually support two distinct captive wild camel populations. Both breeding centers are situated adjacent to the species’ natural habitat, facilitating the development of sustainable water sources and improving long-term conservation outcomes.
Education: They regularly organize classes, seminars, and outdoor excursions tailored for K–12 students, aiming to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. If your school or organization is interested in hosting an event or collaborating with us, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at: wildcamelusa@gmail.com.
