The '''Rajasthan Camel (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act''' was passed in [[Rajasthan]], [[India]] in 2015. Supported by the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP), it created restrictions on camel slaughter and export in Rajasthan, with the goal of increasing the camel population. However, it appears to have had the opposite effect, with a major decline in the number of camels in Rajasthan in the decade after the law's passage.<ref>{{Cite web |title=India’s disappearing camels: How a law to save them is wiping them out |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/15/indias-disappearing-camels-how-a-law-to-save-them-is-wiping-them-out |access-date=2025-01-16 |website=Al Jazeera |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Tandon |first=Aditi |date=2021-09-06 |title=Misfired shot: Law to protect camel is contributing to its decline in Rajasthan |url=https://india.mongabay.com/2021/09/misfired-shot-law-to-protect-camel-is-contributing-to-its-decline-in-rajasthan/ |access-date=2025-01-16 |website=Mongabay-India |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-11-18 |title=Explained: At Pushkar fair, renewed concern over Rajasthan’s 2015 camel law |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-the-controversial-camel-conservation-law-of-rajasthan-7627012/ |access-date=2025-01-16 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><br />
