Learn how the project partners with indigenous communities to protect the endangered reticulated giraffes in northeastern Kenya. Find out about their anti-poaching, de-snaring, disease surveillance, human-giraffe conflict and community engagement activities.
The historic range of the Reticulated giraffe spanned southern Somalia, southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya regions majorly occupied by the Somali people hence the name Somali giraffe. In Kenya, the reticulated giraffes’ former range is bound by the rift valley to the west, the Tana River to the southeast and most regions north and east of ...
We are currently considering collaring 30 adult giraffes across the three counties and track their movement through these vast human-dominated landscapes. The project named “Geri” (giraffe in local Somali dialect) will perhaps be the single largest giraffe collaring exercise in Africa.
The Somali giraffe project operates within the counties of Garissa, Wajir, Mandera in eastern Kenya, and some parts of southwest Somalia along the Kenya-Somalia border. The region host perhaps the largest numbers of the reticulated giraffes with the majority of their population occurring in communally own unprotected lands.
The Somali Giraffe Project is a trans-boundary community-based conservation project that focuses on the conservation and recovery of the endangered reticulated giraffe through Research, Education, and Community involvement.
We are currently working to establish the population demography of the reticulated giraffe across the three counties. Further, we strive to set up a regional reticulated giraffe database based on photography that identifies each reticulated giraffe with their unique skin coat.
