Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar is the founder of the world camel day.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Raziq Kakar is a doctorate in animal science, with a special emphasis on dromedary as a potential dairy animal, He has been working with the camels for the last 22 years. He gained practical experience with camels, like a camel dairy professional, both by training and experience. Since 2014, Dr. Raziq Kakar is solely working with a camel dairying entity (Alain Farms for Livestock Production) which is the world\u2019s first commercial camel dairy, Alain Abu Dhabi UAE. In my philosophy, the camel is a magical biological model coping with the warming planet scenario while producing health-promising milk and meat in challenging circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignfull has-text-align-center\">History of the World Camel Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While compiling my Ph.D. work, and reading piles of books and scientific articles about the camels and camel-related aspects, I realized that there must be a special day to celebrate World Camel Day. This day will be helpful in advocating and promoting camels and spreading awareness among the masses about the importance of the incredible camel in livelihood and food security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we choose the date of 22nd June?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In its original habitat,&nbsp;<strong>21 and 22 June are the longest<\/strong>&nbsp;and hottest days of the year, in the northern hemisphere of the globe. Camel sustains its abilities of production in such harsh and hostile environments and adapts to the soaring heat and long thirsty days.
