Giraffes Quietly Added to Endangered Species List

June 7, 2019 By Mike Thurstone

Recently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has included seven from 9 giraffe species into its Red List of Threatened Species.

Within a statement wholly ignored by the media (except India Today), the company categorized two species of giraffe as”critically endangered” and one as”endangered.”

The conservation status of the remainder includes “vulnerable” to”near threatened.”

Julian Fennessy, manager of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation said, “Many individuals, including conservationists, remain unaware that the planet’s tallest animal is undergoing a quiet slide towards extinction.”

According to The Guardian, the global giraffe population has fallen from 157,000 into 97,500, a whopping 40 percent in just 30 years.

“Human population growth poses the most significant threat to giraffes,” says the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.

“Habitat loss and modifications through expanding mining and agriculture, illegal hunting, increasing human-wildlife battle, and civil unrest are all factors.”
