Rising temperatures in Africa are taking a toll on camels, herders warn

Camels, long regarded as resilient desert animals, are increasingly struggling to cope with extreme heat across Africa. Herders and experts have shared their concerns with the BBC about the growing impact of rising temperatures on camel populations. The animals, traditionally vital to livelihoods and transport in arid regions, are showing signs of stress under the intensifying climate conditions. Both those who depend on camels and scientific observers say the situation is worsening as global temperatures continue to climb.
