Several actions have been initiated by the governments of China and Mongolia to conserve this species of mammal such as the ecosystem-based management programme; two programmes instituted in this respect are the Great Gobi Reserve A in Mongolia set up in 1982, and the Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve in China, established in 2000.

The Wild Camel Protection Foundation, the only such charity of its kind, has as its main goal conservation of the wild Bactrian in its natural desert environment to ensure that they do not get listed in the extinct category of IUCN.
The actions taken by the various organizations, motivated and supported by IUCN and WCPF are: Establishment of more nature reserves (in China and Mongolia) for their conservation, and breeding them in captivity, 15 animals in captivity, (as captive females may calve twice every two years, which may not happen when they are in the wild) to prevent extinction.
The captive breeding initiated by WCPF in 2003 is the Zakhyn-Us Sanctuary in Mongolia, where the initial programme of breeding the last non-hybridised herds of Bactrian camels has proved a success, with the birth of several calves.

The wild Bactrian camel is also being considered for introduction at Pleistocene Park in Northern Siberia as a proxy for extinct Pleistocene camel species.
If this proves feasible, it would increase their geographic range considerably, adding a safety margin to their survival.
