World Camel Day honours the incredible camel and its importance in many spheres of life. In order to highlight the importance of the camel at the global level, Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar founded World Camel Day. Every year since its launch in 2009, World Camel Day has been celebrated on 22 June. Camel habitats observe World Camel Day on this date because it is the longest and hottest day in the year.
Camel, (genus Camelus), are any of three species of large ruminating hoofed mammals of arid Africa and Asia known for their ability to go for long periods without drinking. The Arabian camel, or dromedary (Camelus dromedarius), has one back hump, while the domesticated Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) and the wild Bactrian camel (Camelus ferus) have two.
World Camel Day is celebrated to raise awareness about the importance of camels to the ecosystems, cultures, and economies of the regions where they are found. The day aims to highlight the contributions of camels to human societies and to promote their conservation and sustainable use. Camels play a crucial role in the livelihoods of millions of people in arid regions. These animals are widely used mainly for transportation and milk production.
Camels are deeply rooted in the cultural heritage and traditions of many
communities, especially in the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia.
