MAURITANIA 2025. Dromedary camels

“In Mauritania, the dromedary is an emblematic animal and a central part of the daily lives of Mauritanians,” explains Alexandre Huynh, Representative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The animals play both a symbolic role in the country’s culture and traditions and a vital economic one as a source of milk, meat, fibre and leather, while fostering an industry crucial for producing these critical resources for the local population. Mauritania is one of 90 countries whose populations depend heavily on camelids, which include alpacas, Bactrian camels, dromedaries, guanacos, llamas, and vicuñas. Dromedaries, the most common camel species in Mauritania, are the "key to the livelihoods of millions of households in hostile environments," according to FAO.
