Last month we sent an exciting update about successfully moving a founder population of 6 giraffe to Goo Moremi Reserve in Botswana.

Today we are back with good news:the giraffe have adapted beautifully to their new home!The team and rangers spot Goo Moremi’s new additions regularly, and the reserve is so proud to share space with these gentle giants.

Support Save Giraffes Now
Save Giraffes Now has accomplished so much for giraffe with the help of our partners, but there is still more to do.
Please join us in our fight to save giraffe from extinction now so they can live freely and safely for generations to come.
Around the same time as this relocation, the Save Giraffes Now team learned of the passing of a long-time friend and Chairman of the SGN Board, Mary Ellen Zellerbach. In her honor, one of the sweet female giraffe, was named Mary Ellen.
Now settled into her new home, Mary Ellen the giraffe is confident and curious – always keeping an eye out on her surroundings in the bush.
We are so glad to honor our dear friend in this way.
