Long, Tall Shadows

The sun beat down mercilessly, turning the desert sands into a shimmering expanse of silver. Three giraffes, their bodies hidden from view, cast long, graceful shadows that danced across the arid canvas. They moved as one, a silent procession in a timeless land. Each elongated neck, each delicate leg, etched in stark black against the pale ground, told a story of survival and resilience. A testament to the quiet beauty of the wild, their journey continued, leaving only fleeting impressions on the ancient sands.

Supporting GCF saves giraffe.

Can you imagine a world without giraffe?

Over the past 35 years, giraffe numbers have decreased by nearly 30%. In regions once considered prime habitats, their numbers have dropped by up to 95%, and giraffe have lost nearly 90% of their historical range over the last three centuries.

The plight of giraffe, one of conservation’s best-kept secrets, is finally coming to light. Despite a significant decline in their population over recent decades, giraffe have garnered minimal attention and support for their conservation. Research conducted by conservationists has led to critical discoveries for the preservation of giraffe in the wild, most notably the identification of four distinct giraffe species. Among these, two species have such critically low populations that they are among the most endangered large mammals on the planet.

In the BBC documentary “Giraffe: Africa’s Gentle Giants”—featuring GCF’s important work in Africa—Sir David Attenborough referred to this decline as a “Silent Extinction.” These alarming numbers serve as a reminder that we need to protect giraffe now before it is too late.

GCF is the only NGO in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa. We are dedicated to securing a future for all giraffe populations in the wild. Our conservation approach is based on solid science and our Translocation Programs are just one example that proves our success by actively bringing giraffe back into areas where they originally reigned.

Donating to GCF saves giraffe and puts you at the center of our work.

You are the backbone of our conservation actions and partnerships throughout Africa. Your support makes a difference.
