Some people think there are too many camels on country
and they are causing a lot of damage. Others feel
differently. This book attempts to present the range
of views of people in central Australia and offer some
ideas for managing camels in desert country.
In preparing this book, Tangentyere Landcare staff met
with land owners, camel industry advisors and scientists.
We have tried to present cultural and scientific
experiences of camels in central Australia. Thankyou
to everyone who shared their ideas, photographs and
time in discussion and review of the book.
This book can be used as a resource to facilitate
discussion and planning for camel management. It is
one step in the process of different groups working
together to better understand the effects of camels
in desert country.
