In the original article, the authors mistakenly referred to the species as the ‘wild Bactrian camel’ (Camelus bactrianus ferus). The correct and currently accepted name is the ‘wild camel’ (Camelus ferus).

The errors appear on the first page line 10 and on the third page in Figure 1.

First page line 10 should read …(Camelus ferus)…

Second page line 5 under the ‘Study area and data collection’ heading:-

‘Local herders and conservation teams from the Mongolia Wild Camel Foundation helped identify key Bactrian camel locations across these regions…’ should read ‘Local herders and conservation teams from the Wild Camel Protection Foundation helped identify key Bactrian camel locations across these regions…’

Seventh page line 2 under the Acknowledgements section:-

‘We would like to thank Mr Khasbaatar Khandmaa and the Mongolia Wild Camel Foundation…’ should read ‘We would like to thank Mr Khasbaatar Khandmaa and the Wild Camel Protection Foundation…’
