  • It costs $2,500 a month to run the MONGOLIAN BREEDING CENTRE. The work is vital to protect the wild camel’s unique genetic make-up and covers salaries of the Manager, Herdsman, and Vet.
  • It costs $10,000 every September to provide HAY for the wild camels at the Breeding Centre to survive the long, harsh winter.
  • We need $25,000 for a WILD CAMEL EDUCATION PROGRAMME in China and Mongolia.
