Derek E. Lee, a Principal Scientist of the Wild Nature Institute, shares his work with preserving biodiversity and working with giraffes in Tanzania.
While relatively niche in the grand scheme of biodiversity and the animal kingdom in general, giraffes in Tanzania offer a fascinating study of preserving environmental health. However, through threats like habitat loss and criminal syndicates, they may be in more danger than you may know.
Since giraffes keep the same unique spot pattern throughout their lives, they do not need to be trapped and tagged to be tracked. Unfortunately, though, fewer than 100,000 giraffes are left in the wild, meaning conservation efforts need to be drastically improved to make a significant difference.
