04 Oct - 19 Oct - Hope for the Wild Camels: an Auction for their survival

Read more ...


The Wild Camel Protection Foundation auction is a truly unique and vital event, raising essential funds for one of the rarest and most endangered animals on our planet – the Wild Camel (Camelus ferus).

 

The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) is the only charity in the world solely dedicated to protecting the Wild Camel, a species that has survived against incredible odds in the harsh deserts of China and Mongolia. With fewer than 1,000 camels left in the wild, these remarkable animals are more endangered than giant pandas and are under constant threat from habitat loss, human encroachment, and competition for scarce water sources.

 

This auction plays a pivotal role in supporting the Foundation’s ground-breaking conservation work. Proceeds will go directly towards the ongoing development and operation of our second breeding centre – a critical expansion of WCPF’s efforts. The first centre has already shown extraordinary success in safeguarding the genetic future of the wild camel, and the second facility, now established, is essential to ensure their long-term survival. It will:

 

Provide greater capacity for carefully managed breeding programs.

 

Increase genetic diversity among the captive population.

 

Serve as an insurance population should disaster strike in the wild.

 

Create more opportunities for future reintroductions into their native desert habitat.

 

By taking part in this auction, you are not only bidding on unique and remarkable items – you are joining us, the ONLY charity in the world dedicated to saving the wild camel from extinction. This is more than an auction: it is a chance to directly contribute to the survival of a species found nowhere else on earth. Every bid helps secure the future of the wild camel and ensures that generations to come will still know of its existence.

When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
