Education and awareness programmes
Giraffe conservation cannot be addressed in isolation. Working with people who share their living spaces with giraffe is of paramount importance. GCF is committed to enhancing conservation capacity and instilling a way of life that embraces conservation principles in Africa.
Regional programmes
Giraffe populations are not bound by national borders and most species spread across numerous countries. Employing a regional or transboundary approach is often vital for conservation success to address threats to giraffe and their conservation.
