Giraffe Rescue and Conservation Efforts

A herd of giraffes in Kenya became stranded on an island due to rising water levels. Conservationists devised a plan to relocate them using rafts and tranquilizers. The first successful relocation involved a giraffe named Osawa. In Uganda, Operation Twiga relocated 55 giraffes using trucks, and GPS trackers were used to monitor their movements. World Giraffe Day is celebrated on June 21st to raise awareness about giraffe conservation.
