Giraffe populations are rising, giving new hope to scientists

Northern giraffes, the most threatened species, live in isolated populations across Central and West Africa, as well as Uganda and parts of Kenya. The new paper estimates there are more than 5,900 of this species, a significant increase from 2015, when there were 4,780.

Masai giraffes, found mostly in Tanzania and southern Kenya, have an estimated population of 45,000, a 44 percent increase from seven years ago. The most populous species, the southern giraffe, roams throughout Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, and beyond. There are now thought to be 48,000, roughly the same as in 2015.

The IUCN does regard two subspecies of northern giraffes to be critically endangered, and two others—Masai and reticulated giraffes—to be endangered. , a researcher with Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, says his main concern is unsustainable development, including drilling for petroleum and road construction. “That’s what keeps me up at night,” he says.around Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park, which threatens to fragment and damage habitat for the area’s large population of critically endangered northern giraffes.

that's one species out of the millions claimed by Climate Hysteria that are supposed be disappearing every day (oops. my exaggeration)

Super encouraging

Build the wall before these caravans of rapist giraffes cross our borders!

These fellas are brawling.. They really beat the hell out of each over females.. Just like we do when it's closing time, and there's only a couple of hard fives left at the bar.

There is a need to keep positive initiatives for continuous increase in the number of giraffes.🖐️💚

Some Good News : Hope for these forgotten giants /Silent Extintion

Nice to hear some good news for a change!

Hi giraffe 👋

En el mundo natural, la noticia positiva del día !!!

I thought they were going extinct like the rhino or elephant. So glad to see that isn’t the case.

Amazing animal with amazing adaptation power!😍

You shouldn't publicize this - the trump brothers will show up and start shooting.

As beautiful as these images are, they’re nothing compared to seeing these awesome creatures.

Good news wildlife

As long as all those camera happy barbarians are let loose by NG/BBC/Animal Planet who eat anything that moves crawls, flies or swims every being will be on verge of extinction

Heavens! How many species are endangered in this planet?

Good news! The gentle giants .Impressive.

That's great (✿^‿^)

They should be preserved else they will be exnsist

Hurrah for Twiga :))

Such elegant allures.

Por eso es que las escuelas son importantes, adultos educados pueden enseñar a sus hijos a cuidar de ellos y a la naturaleza. También es una cuestión de conciencia.

Finally some good news

Did the asteroid the size of half a giraffe ever hit? How did we device which way to measure a giraffe so that we can using it as a measurement standard?

👍

I love giraffe. Magical. And also Rhinos. So beautiful

Is great to have a good news every now and then ✌️🏻

These creatures are another example of an evolutionary dead-end, as awesome as they are. Like Pandas, Platypus, Koala's, etc etc. They will all go extinct because evolution just went off-tangent, which in the grand scheme of things does not pay off. Unfortunate, but inevitable.

It's amazing how this beautiful species survived through the evolution. At the same time, it's happy to hear that they managed to keep it up even facing their biggest threat — humans.

👏

... May I? Based on so Many stories, documentaries, etc., I am definitely “unpleased” to come to the evidence that the worst creature named /human being/ is We/Us... Sorry 😐 (s.e.&o).😭.

Yes.. They are so cute 😘🦒🦒

As they should, they are soooo cute and adorable 🦒♥️

In the name of God!

It seems their minds have risen above the bs

deathandmilk_ ReaperIncarnate Look, look!! :

This makes me so happy! One of my sons is obsessed with giraffes. For good reason, they're beautiful.

The divination arrow to catch out an pedophile has evolved in an way that it has been categorised to an case by case scenario, such as the case labelled as Terry Pratchett, which should only be legit for an midwife. Or even games and theory, rather than gawking at a brown bird.

wonderful....but that probably means that the lions, cheetahs and leopards are not doing so well,,,at least that's my guess...could be wrong but there is usually a reason?

This is great news!

The giraffes are beautiful MABA

: Il numero di giraffe è del 20 per cento superiore a quello del 2015, come mostra una nuova ricerca, un raro punto di buona notizia nel mondo della conservazione.

Please do not release the location!!!! Murderers must be kept away.

Maybe bc less Americans can travel there to shoot them.

Great!
