VOICED : Reticulated giraffes pushed closer to extinction

Giraffes in Kenya face significant threats, with populations declining drastically due to factors like poaching and habitat loss. The Rothschild and reticulated giraffes are particularly at risk. Conservationists like John and Jacob are working to monitor and protect these animals, but challenges remain, including community reliance on bushmeat due to droughts. Efforts are underway to increase protection, with potential funding from endangered species classification. However, urgent action is needed to prevent further decline.

What role do local communities play in the conservation of giraffes?

What could be the implications of the reticulated giraffe being classified as endangered?
