Introductiion:

This guide has been developed to provide essential background information about Africa’s giraffe. It highlights the management  challenges faced by all stakeholders across the continent, from local communities to governments and their agencies, the  non-governmental conservation community and the private sector,if this quintessential African species is to have a future in the wild. Written  by  the  Giraffe  Conservation  Foundation  (GCF) and produced with the invaluable  support of Black Eagle Media,  the  publisher  of Africa  Geographic  magazine,  it comes at a time when giraffe numbers have fallen by more than 40 per cent in the past decade and a half and when, although the species’ formal conservation status is Least Concern, two subspecies have recently been  classified as Endangered on the IUCN’s Red List. As such, they are of high conservation priority.
