But in brief, camel population has gone from 100,000 thirty years ago to 250,000 today, causing significant overgrazing concerns. There are 14,000 active racing camels which is a major economic activity employing at least 9000 people. Not sure about the various breeds of camels as yet. But the domestic camels are incredibly well cared for - the wild ones are not and suffer from ingesting plastic bags which are lying around everywhere.

I'm a bit concerned for you though: when you start thinking that a camel has shapely lips, long legs and gorgeous eyelashes - it might be time to get out of that Dubai sun. Do you have an stats on the camel population ie due to all the rapid urbanisation going on there, have camel numbers dramatically declined? any rare camel species under threat? (actually, I am very interested in this!). Kim ah, Luke: I see you have been gathering the camel knowledge!
