Bringing Giraffe Back to Mozambique
There are ~117,000 giraffe remaining in the wild - that is 1 giraffe for every 3-4 elephant in Africa.
In the last 300 years, giraffe have lost almost 90% of their natural habitat – habitat loss is the main threat to giraffe.
We are reversing this trend by bringing giraffe back into areas where they have gone locally extinct or only occur in low numbers.
Mozambique is a great example.
Years of civil unrest have driven giraffe to the brink of extinction. Today, there are only 250 giraffe left in the country.
We have now set everything in motion to bring giraffe back to Mozambique in a big way!
We’re planning our most ambitious giraffe translocations EVER! Over the next 5 years, together with the Mozambican government and our partners, we are going to move over 350 giraffe to four key areas in the country: Zinave and Banhine National Parks, Maputo Special Reserve and Karingani Game Reserve.
This series of translocations will more than double the population, re-establish southern giraffe within their historic range and open over 3 million acres of prime habitat for giraffe to thrive!
We’re kicking off fundraising on #GivingTuesday2021 and need your help.
