"For a moment in time,
the east and west were joined once again on the Silk Road, through the
boy from the west and the clan of the east, uniting in a common cause."
布莱德沙漠之旅, 关于一个男孩的拯救双峰骆驼的戈壁沙漠之旅,现推出中文版故事录音。
By Dawn Van Zant
The book is a combination of elements of truth from his real
life journey woven into a magical journey of hope. If you believe in
fate, then believe this book was meant to be.
Brad
inspired me to research and learn about the last of the true wild camels
in existence that have a genetic DNA difference from domestics and feral
camels. Their immune system may hold answers to research in arresting
diabetes and cancer.
I was
privileged to encounter desert explorer, John Hare, founder of the Wild
Camel Protection Foundation (www.wildcamels.com) as
I initiated my research. He was then kind enough to send Brad pictures
and books about the camels and a new friendship was born.
I
adopted a new born camel for Brad and he named the young calf "Judy".
Family
and friends have generously donated to the foundation, in his memory, in
hopes of saving the wild camels and continuing the initial research. The artist for the book, Alexander Levitas, lives in a Kibbutz in Israel. He appeared one day by magic in my email inbox as an artist looking for freelance work. His artwork was meant for this book and his personal background lends history and empathy to the story. I believe Brad found him for me, because I wasn't moving fast enough. It is my dream for Brad and his family that through this book, we help to save the vanishing wild camels in the Gobi and continue the valuable research that may result in a possible cure for cancer. That would be a fitting legacy for a warrior."

www.wildcamels.com ![]() When the Sandman comes to visit you
tonight, you need to listen closely as you close your eyes
and drift off to sleep. He will tell you a story that you
need to know. As he drops the soft grains of sand and dust
once carried by the winds of the Gobi desert, you can hear
the sand dunes whispering a bedtime story. It is a tale of
the magic that lives in the desert, of buried ancient
treasures, vanishing wild camels, forgotten people and the
courage of a small unlikely warrior destined to be their
guardian. Copyright 2004 Dawn Van Zant, Wild Heart Ranch Books
WILD CAMEL PROTECTION FOUNDATION The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF),
a UK based charitable foundation with Jane Goodall as its patron, was
established in 1997 specifically to protect the critically endangered
wild Bactrian camel in its pristine desert environment in the Gobi
deserts of China and Mongolia. Other achievements of the WCPF have been the organizing of a meeting between the Vice-Ministers of the Environment of the Governments of China and Mongolia, which resulted in the signing of an agreement by both countries to cooperate in wild Bactrian camel protection. In addition, the WCPF is currently involved in establishing a captive wild Bactrian camel breeding program near the Great Gobi Reserve A, a protected area in Mongolia. This program had the full backing of the Mongolian government. It is vital as there are only 15 wild Bactrian camels in captivity out of as total of under 800 in the wild. The WCPF has raised over $250,000 from international trusts and companies and is constantly striving to raise additional finance. In 1999, the National Geographic Society and the Royal Geographical Society financed a WCPF expedition into the Chinese Gobi to survey the wild Bactrian camel population. This resulted in a sighting of 169 wild camels, an enormous achievement. An environmental, awareness-raising educational program linked to the new Reserve and Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots scheme in China and Mongolia has produced awareness-raising booklets both in local languages for schools and adults in both countries and this program is constantly expanding.
