It is the goal of the foundation to promote scientific research into domesticated and wild yak as well as two-humped mountain- and wild camels, for example by offering phd scholarships and research grants, the implementation of scientific symposia and the support of other projects which help promote the preservation of both species.

These species are of essential importance to human existence in the high plateaus of central Asia and have greatly decreased in numbers. As part of this symposium, a 2000 € grant by the Yak-Kamel Stiftung was awarded to PD Dr. Ivica Medugorac of the Workgroup for Population Genomics at the Veterinary Faculty of the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich for his groundbreaking work on the domestication of yak, which was published in Nature Genetics 49, 470-475 (2017).
