Africa's camels die in heatwave
Camels across Africa's Horn and North regions are suffering from extreme heat and drought conditions, which are damaging their health, reducing their reproduction and milk production, and increasing mortality rates. Despite their resilience to high temperatures, temperatures now exceeding 50°C and prolonged heatwaves are causing severe heat stress, leading to dehydration, disease, and livestock deaths. Consequently, many herders are relocating their camels southward due to the worsening climate impacts on traditional grazing areas.
