Donation campaign organized to save wild Bactrian camels.
Donation campaign organized to save wild Bactrian camels. A donation campaign was organized in Kent Country, the UK with an aim to support a center for saving wild camels in a reserved area of Mongolian Gobi. Money earned from the charity organized by the Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) will be used for reserving hay and fodder for the wild camels during the severe winter. The campaign attracted representatives of the Union of Mongolians in UK, Mongolians from London, Manchester and Nottingham. A concert, wrestling competition and race of Mongolian Bactrian and Arab camels were organized during the event. In addition, Mongolians in the UK offered guests with Mongolian cuisine. The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) was established in 1997 with the sole aim to protect the critically endangered wild camel and its habitat in the fragile and unique desert ecosystems in the Gobi desert in north-west China and south-west Mongolia. It is the only charitable environmental Foundation in the world which has this exclusive objective. With support from the Mongolian Ministry of Environment, the WCPF established a wild camel breeding center in 2002 together with the Mongolian Commission for Endangered Species (MCES) and carries out actions to augment the wild camel population.
