Camels in Mauritania



Camel milk has been honored as a gourmet food by Italy, as a poverty reducer by the United Nations and as a blessing by those who work with camels, for its healing power. A British physicist convinced Mauritanians, two decades ago, to part with their animals' sacred milk. Since then, camel cash has changed Mauritania's nomadic lifestyle. Advocates say, if camels could earn respect outside the desert world, they could change even more.
