(Fox News) - Australians are being urged to eat camels and kangaroos in order to save the planet. The French Press Agency reports that a recent study found more than 1 million feral camels —- the largest wild herd on earth —- are damaging desert ecosystems and water sources down under.

Murray McGregor, co-author of the Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Center Report, says, "eat a camel today... it's as lean as lean, it's an excellent health food."

Officials are also continuing to urge sheep and cattle ranchers to shift to kangaroos. The Australian government says kangaroos do not emit large amounts of harmful greenhouse gases —- like livestock does —- when they pass wind.
