This World Giraffe Day, Save Giraffes Now is excited to share a few of the projects we have been working on recently, including:
Facilitating the move of 10 new giraffe to Ruko Community Conservancy in Kenya to improve the gene pool and to expand the herd which should one day help to populate the Great Rift Valley.
Reintroducing giraffe to areas they have not been for decades and where they can now be protected (Botswana and South Africa).
Coordinating other translocations in Kenya, Botswana, and South Africa to increase genetic diversity and improve sex ratios in herds.
Improving water accessibility for giraffe, wildlife, people, and livestock by creating new boreholes on community lands.
Surveying within the Athi-Kapiti Plains in Kenya to determine the best placement for boreholes.
Maintaining ongoing ranger and community scout support in multiple landscapes.
Continuing to support our sweet little calf at Ruko Community Conservancy whose mother rejected him back in February.
The young calf at Ruko Community Conservancy will be bottle fed until he is around a year old.Â
The entire Save Giraffes Now team extends our thanks to you for help protecting these beloved gentle giants. Our success would not be possible without you.
Warmest regards,
Support Save Giraffes Now
Save Giraffes Now has accomplished so much for giraffe since our inception 5 years ago, 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.
