Give to GCF
For every four elephant, only one giraffe remains in the wild in Africa.
That’s a drop of nearly 30% over the last three decades. In the BBC documentary “Giraffes: Africa’s Gentle Giants” — featuring GCF’s important work in Africa — Sir David Attenborough referred to this decline as a “Silent Extinction.” These alarming numbers serve as a reminder that we need to protect giraffe now before it is too late.
The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) is the only NGO in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa. We are dedicated to securing a future for all giraffe populations in the wild.
Your help supports our work with local and international partners, affecting over 100 million acres of giraffe habitat.
