I’ve spent the last week or so looking into ways that we can all contribute to giraffe conservation- it’s true that many of us don’t live near wild giraffe populations, but there are still a number of ways that we can support them, most of which don’t involve travel.
I have no idea how many pictures I took of this giraffe at the Nashville Zoo, but I could have watched it for hours.
One organization was mentioned time and again when it comes to giraffes- the Giraffe Conservation Foundation . You can donate to their efforts or adopt a giraffe. They also take the lead in celebrating World Giraffe Day which is coming up on June 21 st (the longest day or night of the year, depending on where you are)- many zoos coordinate events with World Giraffe Day, so there may be something close to you.
