Kathmandu. The camel is known as the ship of the desert. But even this strong animal is struggling to survive rising temperatures globally. <\/p>\n
Camels are dying due to heat from Rajasthan to sub-saharan Africa due to high temperatures. Camels, an essential part of people’s lives in the African desert for centuries, are slowly disappearing. <\/p>\n
A study published in 2025 found that high temperatures and climate change are having a major impact on camel health. <\/p>\n
The world’s largest number of one-humped camels are found in North Africa and the Horn of Africa. This is the Afar region of Ethiopia. Where nomads often lead caravans of camels carrying salt from the desert. Ali Omar, owner of about 500 camels in Somera, Afar, said a total of 100 calves had been lost in a single month due to the intense heat. “The heat has become unbearable,” he said. \u2019<\/p>\n
In the report, people say that climate change and climate change are affecting the health, productivity and fertility of camels. Research reports published in June this year suggest that the situation in neighbouring Somalia is even more serious. Camel deaths linked to drought have become a major crisis there. <\/p>\n
The crisis is not limited to Africa. Its impact is also clearly visible in the Thar Desert of neighboring India. There has been a rapid decline in camel populations in this region of Rajasthan. However, the cause of this crisis in India is different. Arab News reports that the younger generation in the Thar region is showing little interest in camel farming. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
