Support the Survival of the Wild Camel (Camelus ferus)

The wild camel is one of the most endangered large mammals on Earth. The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) is the only charity working exclusively to protect it and its fragile desert habitat.

Our Breeding Centres: Ensuring a Future for a Unique Species

1. Zakhyn Us Breeding Centre – Mongolia
   Established in 2004 in the buffer zone of the Great Gobi Strictly Protected Area ‘A’, this centre began with just eight camels. Today, it houses over 35 individuals, underscoring both its early success and pressing limits to its capacity.
2. John Hare Breeding Centre, Toli Bulag – Mongolia
   To build resilience and maintain genetic diversity, we launched a second breeding centre at Toli Bulag, also in the same protected area. Thanks to tremendous generosity, we’ve completed the initial infrastructure and continue to expand capacity.

Operating two sites now means we can safeguard two genetically distinct populations, strengthening the wild camel’s chances of survival.

Make an Immediate Impact

Your donation today helps us cover urgent needs at both breeding centres, from feeding camels through harsh winters to funding our local education programmes. Every gift, large or small, goes directly towards securing the future of the wild camel.

Breeding wild camels is a slow, resource-intensive process. Each female can only produce a calf once every two years, and with fewer than 1,000 left in the wild, every birth is precious. By supporting our two breeding centres, you’re helping ensure this ancient species, unchanged for over 700,000 years, has a future in its desert homeland.

Why Your Support Matters

Habitat threats like illegal mining and environmental degradation heighten the urgency for your donations. By supporting our work, you’re not just helping numbers grow; you’re preserving a species that has persisted for over 700,000 years and remains poorly understood by science.

Please donate today to secure the future of the wild camel. Together, we can give this extraordinary species the chance to survive and thrive in its desert homeland.
