Wild Camels

04/06/2026

🐪💚 At our Wild Camel Breeding Centres in Mongolia, some of the camels are gently accustomed to human presence and handling, particularly for important veterinary and medical care.

This helps our teams monitor their health safely and reduce stress if treatment is needed.

And yes, they can be rather lovely.

Wild Camels living beyond the protected fences of the breeding centres remain truly wild animals and are not handled by humans.

Every day, our teams work carefully to balance conservation, welfare, and respect for this extraordinary species.

🐪💚 The Wild Camel is one of nature’s greatest survivors.

Living in the unforgiving landscapes of the Gobi Desert, they withstand extreme temperatures, little water, and some of the harshest conditions on Earth.
But survival is never guaranteed.

Every scientific discovery, every protected habitat, and every successful birth helps secure the future of this remarkable species.

Please help us continue protecting the Wild Camel:

🐪🌍 A symbol of survival in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
Wild Camels endure freezing winters, scorching summers, scarce water, and vast barren landscapes in the remote Gobi Desert. Yet despite these extraordinary adaptations, their future remains uncertain.

Every new discovery about this elusive species helps strengthen the global effort to protect them for generations to come.

🐪🎙️ We were delighted to hear the Wild Camel mentioned on BBC Radio 4’s The Nature Table.

Every mention matters for one of the world’s rarest mammals. Raising awareness helps more people discover the Wild Camel, learn about the challenges they face in the Gobi Desert, and understand why conservation is so important.

🐪🌍 As of this writing, Dr Adiya Yadamsuren and Dr Pamela Burger are leading a team of scientists and veterinarians on an important field expedition in the Gobi Desert.

Their work includes annual veterinary health checks, tissue and blood sample collection, hybrid camel surveys, and vital field research, all essential to the future survival of the Wild Camel.

Conserving the Wild Camel is demanding work carried out in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Behind every photograph and every protected camel are years of dedication, scientific research, long journeys across the desert, and unwavering commitment from teams working quietly behind the scenes.

These efforts are not only helping to safeguard one of the world’s rarest mammals, but also protecting the fragile ecosystem of the Gobi Desert itself.

🐪🌍 John Hare, explorer, conservationist, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, co-founded the Wild Camel Protection Foundation together with Kathryn Rae.

Between 1993 and 1997, he led four pioneering expeditions into the remote Gobi deserts of China and Mongolia, two of them travelling with domestic Bactrian camels.
These extraordinary journeys helped document the presence and status of the critically endangered Wild Camel in some of the most inaccessible regions on Earth.

This photograph shows John Hare alongside Chinese scientists during the historic 1997 expedition into the Desert of Lop, China. The expedition played a vital role in advancing scientific understanding of the Wild Camel and laid the foundations for the conservation work that continues today.

Rendered in Amy Stauffer’s distinctive and meticulous style, the piece beautifully captures both the tenderness and resilience of one of the world’s rarest mammals.
