Description: Camels and climate activists marched through Budapest, warning that much of Hungary is drying into desert as outdated water policies fail

In a striking protest, camels led a caravan of farmers, scientists, and environmental activists through the streets of Budapest to raise awareness about Hungary’s worsening drought and desertification crisis. With musicians, stilt walkers, and Mad Max-themed outfits, the demonstrators demanded urgent water policy reforms, citing outdated infrastructure and government inaction. Experts warn that southern Hungary is drying rapidly due to climate change, with 63% of the country experiencing severe drought last month. Protesters urged the government to support sustainable land use and water retention to avert ecological disaster.
