Giraffe Conservation Status
Giraffe populations have declined significantly over the past few decades, but recent conservation efforts and a better understanding of giraffe species diversity are leading to positive trends. While some species are still critically endangered, others are showing signs of recovery.
Giraffe Species - Giraffe Conservation Foundation
With only 117,000 giraffe remaining in the wild, understanding these differences is crucial for effective conservation efforts. GCF's research has revealed that there are four distinct species of giraffe in Africa: Masai, northern, reticulated, and southern.
Our Impact - Giraffe Conservation Foundation
The Giraffe Conservation Foundation Foundation’s impact on giraffe conservation in Africa continues to grow. Our work has an impact on over 400,000 sqkm (100 million acres) of giraffe habitat and concerns all four species of giraffe.
Our Story: A short history of GCF - Giraffe Conservation Foundation
The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) originated from the couple Stephanie and Julian Fennessy's research and passion for giraffe conservation in Namibia. They founded GCF to address the lack of knowledge and conservation efforts for giraffe, working tirelessly to raise awareness, conduct research, and protect these magnificent animals.
Northern Giraffe - Giraffe Conservation Foundation
With only less than 6,000 individuals remaining in the wild, the northern giraffe is one of the most threatened large mammals in the world. The three subspecies Kordofan, Nubian, and West African giraffe inhabit often rather precarious areas across Western, Central and East Africa.
Programs Archive - Giraffe Conservation Foundation
Currently, GCF works on, manages and supports giraffe conservation programs and initiatives that concern all four species of giraffe in 21 African countries. Our involvement ranges from implementation to providing technical support to partners, from conservation monitoring to hands-on conservation actions, from direct to indirect support.
Masai Giraffe - Giraffe Conservation Foundation
The Masai giraffe (G. t. tippelskirchi) has long been the most populous giraffe with an estimated 71,000 individuals three and a half decades ago, and now reduced to just over 44,750 in the wild. These giraffe inhabit central and southern Kenya and occur throughout Tanzania.
Giraffe Conservation Health
Through our Giraffe Conservation Health initiative, we are establishing an Africa-wide network of experienced wildlife veterinary professionals committed to collaboratively enhancing giraffe conservation throughout the continent.
Giraffe Conservation Translocations
Giraffe translocations are a crucial component of the giraffe conservation toolbox. Through conservation translocations, locally extinct populations have been successfully reintroduced into their native habitats and small existing populations have bolstered to thrive.
