Camel Trophy
Although the events had an impact on the environment where they travelled, there were ways in which the Camel Trophy benefited the local society or environment.  In 1993, for example, the teams worked through the night to build an environmental monitoring station in the jungle so biologists could accurately study the flora and fauna of an area. In all the events, the convoy's progress reopened roads and trails which had fallen into disuse. They frequently rebuilt bridges and repaired sections of damaged roads.
