The Wild Camel Protection Foundation auction is a truly unique and vital event, raising essential funds for one of the rarest and most endangered animals on our planet – the Wild Camel (Camelus ferus).
The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) is the only charity in the world solely dedicated to protecting the Wild Camel, a species that has survived against incredible odds in the harsh deserts of China and Mongolia. With fewer than 1,000 camels left in the wild, these remarkable animals are more endangered than giant pandas and are under constant threat from habitat loss, human encroachment, and competition for scarce water sources.
This auction plays a pivotal role in supporting the Foundation’s ground-breaking conservation work. Proceeds will go directly towards the ongoing development and operation of our second breeding centre – a critical expansion of WCPF’s efforts. The first centre has already shown extraordinary success in safeguarding the genetic future of the wild camel, and the second facility, now established, is essential to ensure their long-term survival. It will:
- Provide greater capacity for carefully managed breeding programs.
- Increase genetic diversity among the captive population.
- Serve as an insurance population should disaster strike in the wild.
- Create more opportunities for future reintroductions into their native desert habitat.
By taking part in this auction, you are not only bidding on unique and remarkable items – you are joining us, the ONLY charity in the world dedicated to saving the wild camel from extinction. This is more than an auction: it is a chance to directly contribute to the survival of a species found nowhere else on earth. Every bid helps secure the future of the wild camel and ensures that generations to come will still know of its existence.
