It takes a village to save giraffe!

There are only 600 West African giraffe remaining in the wild and all of them live just 60 km south-east of Niger’s capital Niamey.

Together with the Niger Government and other partners we have successfully undertaken the first-ever translocation of the threatened West African giraffe to create a satellite population.

But this is just the start.

We need YOUR HELP to ensure a future for this unique giraffe population!
