Save Giraffes Now, a Texas-based nonprofit, is committed to saving giraffe from extinction by supporting action-oriented work with immediate impact for the rapidly declining populations across Africa.

In a remarkable ongoing rescue, SGN joined forces with Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and an African non-government organization to float a group of Rothschild’s giraffe to safety from their flooded Kenyan rangeland.

This story deserved to be told, and told well – both to highlight the dedication and creativity needed for successful conservation today, and to inspire people to financially support this important work.

First, two giraffes were floated to the Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy in a smooth and successful operation. A month later, they were joined by the rest of the herd. All are now on the mainland, away from the floodwaters, and doing well.
