Jane Goodall-Introduction

The wild camel is the eighth most endangered large mammal on the planet. It is critically endangered. There are approximately 650 in the Gobi desert in north-west China and 450 in the desert in Mongolia. In China it survived 43 atmospheric nuclear test and lives on salt water which no other mammal can tolerate. It’s DNA and other characteristics are substantially different to the domestic Bactrian camel. The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) is the ONLY charity in the world with a SPECIFIC mission to save this remarkable creature and its pristine desert environment from extinction and destruction.
