Rare reticulated giraffes are being tracked in their habitats in arid Northern Kenya following the inclusion of the species in the Red List of endangered animals.

The initiative, dubbed ‘Twiga Walinzi (Giraffe guards), aims to track 250 giraffes across Africa to understand their movement corridors and preferred habitats, which will provide information for effective future conservation efforts.
