We have temporarily closed all our offices in Africa and most of our team work from home while a few are lucky enough to continue their field work in remote field locations in Namibia and Uganda. Thanks to your support, we are able to keep all of our small team employed and we are looking forward to coming out of these trying times better and stronger than before. We at GCF are an effective team and we are excited to use this opportunity to plan our next steps in giraffe conservation!
This additional desk time allows us to catch up on important admin, as well as programme and financial reporting, including developing our 2019-20 Annual Report. However, we are also making plans for impactful giraffe conservation activities post-Covid-19 when our movement restrictions will be lifted. There are a host of exciting translocations, new surveying and assessments on the cards for different giraffe populations throughout the continent. As part of our Twiga Tracker programme, we continue to monitor
all the GPS satellite tagged giraffe remotely across Africa and we see some interesting movements indeed – as people are confined and move less, giraffe are reclaiming their natural habitats. Exciting times for conservation!
