The tallest animal on earth went from unremarkable to threatened while most people were looking elsewhere. Behind the herds still browsing wild savanna is work that only began in earnest recently: aerial surveys, GPS collaring, translocations into country where giraffes had vanished, and patrols pulling wire snares off game trails.
A symbolic adoption makes that work yours to be part of.
Your adoption helps support the organizations protecting giraffes and the woodland they feed in. Translocation has already put giraffes back into places that had lost them, which is a rare thing to be able to say. The species is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN after a decline of around 40% over three decades, and several subspecies are in worse shape than that figure suggests.
And your adoption gives you something to keep.
You'll receive a personalized adoption certificate and a collectible, numbered species card that tells the story of the animal you're helping protect. At higher adoption levels, you'll also receive a giraffe plush: a small, tangible reminder of something much bigger.
Because the best gifts don't disappear when they're opened. They spark curiosity. They start conversations. They remind us that a herd moving through acacia woodland in Kenya is part of our world, too. Its future is something all of us can help protect.
Adopt a giraffe. Help protect its savanna. Become part of its story.
Population trend: decreasing. The IUCN lists the giraffe as Vulnerable after a decline of around 40% over three decades, a fall that happened with almost no public attention.
Woodland is cleared for farming and charcoal, and giraffes lose the browse a herd needs to stay put.
Giraffes are caught in wire snares set along game trails, and killed for meat, hides, and tails.
Several subspecies live where armed conflict makes consistent protection close to impossible.
Longer dry seasons reduce browse and push herds onto farmland and across roads.
Funds from our giraffe adoptions go to the Wildlife Connect Giraffe Fund, which supports vetted wildlife sanctuaries and conservation organizations working to protect giraffes, their habitats, and the many species that live alongside them.
