Guard the Giraffes

Giraffes are Earth's tallest land animals, and on average, stand around 18 ft tall (5.5 meters). They inhabit a variety of environments across Africa, including woodlands and savannas. Wild giraffes are known to form loose social groups known as "towers”. Furthermore, giraffes are herbivores that play a crucial role in the natural pruning of vegetation, maintaining a healthy ecosystem balance. 

These incredible animals have been classified as vulnerable with a decreasing population. The increased amount of human settlements has resulted in significant habitat loss for the species. Giraffes are poached for trade, traditional medicine, and bushmeat (which concerns the illegal trade of wild animal meat), further decreasing populations. Ecological factors, such as increased mining activity, prolonged droughts, and climate change are additional factors in the declining numbers of these animals.
