Today in Africa, the animal most known for its long neck, is facing extinction. As the number
of giraffes plummet, due to poachers and bush meat hunters. The giraffe population starting in
Africa at about 140,000, quickly decreasing to about 80,000. This means that the population
was dropped by almost 40%, and if not stopped can lead to higher percentages. Similar to the
average of about 450,000 african elephants in which were said to “face a high risk of
extinction in the near future” and were then put into a conservation, the giraffes were also
made a conservation. The Giraffe Conservation Foundation; otherwise known as GCF, has
examined giraffe numbers over the past five years. Concluding that it’s an alarming situation,
and if we want things to get better we have to act now. What are some other ways you could
help save the giraffe population?
