June 21st is World Giraffe Day, a special date chosen to celebrate the tallest animal on Earth and raise awareness for their silent struggle in the wild.
Although giraffes may seem widespread, their numbers have dropped by nearly 30% in just three decades. Today, they are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with some subspecies critically endangered. Habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching continue to threaten their survival.
At Africam, weāre lucky to witness these gentle giants in their natural habitat - drinking at waterholes, browsing treetops, or sharing peaceful moments with other wildlife. Every sighting is a reminder of why conservation matters.
This World Giraffe Day, take a moment to appreciate these incredible animals on our live cams.
š§” From all of us at Africam - thank you for watching, caring, and sharing. |
