Saving the Wild Bactrian Camel

There's a camel out there drinking water so salty it would kill any other mammal.

This is the wild Bactrian camel, the world’s only truly wild camel, surviving in the

harsh Gobi Desert. But this incredible species is critically endangered, with fewer than

1,000 left. Illegal hunting and mining are destroying their home. Even worse,

they're mixing with domestic camels, diluting their unique genes forever. Scientists have

confirmed their population is shrinking. By protecting their desert homes and supporting breeding

centers, we can help them. We have a small window to act before this ultimate survivor

disappears.
