You have been gifted a Giraffe Adoption!

This gift confers 1 year of access to the Giraffe Adoption Portal to you.

We share photos and stories about our encounters with giraffe as we monitor them in the wild. We will also keep you informed about all of our conservation research activities and other adventures in Namibia and other parts of Africa. 

Your personalized adoption certificate and reward benefits will be delivered digitally and can be printed from any printer; we do not send out physical items as this would take money away from the valuable support you are providing for giraffe. Please be aware that your adoption is symbolic and that the giraffe you are ‘adopting’ are living wild and free. We are working hard to keep it that way!

Your gift adoption package includes:

  • A personalized, printable Adoption Certificate;
  • Updates from the field recapping the adventures of our wild giraffe adoptees;
  • Photos of all our adopted giraffe;
  • Access to the Adoption Sightings Map, showing the most recent location of our adopted giraffe;
  • Featured giraffe-cams showcasing live-streamed wildlife from various locations across Namibia;
  • Exclusive desktops for your desktop, laptop, and mobile devices;
  • Giraffe Activity Packs: Make a direct contribution to the conservation of giraffe in Africa with giraffe activity packs;
  • Social Media Challenges: Participate in social media challenges year-round to help raise awareness and save giraffe;
  • Access to personalized t-shirts and hoodies made for our adopters (deliverable to US and UK);
  • The opportunity to interact with fellow giraffe enthusiasts through our adoption portal.

Adopt a Giraffe

About Giraffe Conservation Foundation

Every donation supports our work with local and international partners, affecting over 100 million acres of giraffe habitat.

The Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) is the only NGO in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa. We are dedicated to securing a future for all giraffe populations in the wild.

Our conservation story started in Namibia, where we have studied several giraffe populations for over two decades now. Our findings have directly impacted the global understanding of giraffe and how best to save them. It was the GCF team that first realized that there are four different species of giraffe (and not only one as previously thought). Our pioneering work in Africa also led to global recognition of giraffe’s silent extinction on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

However, our work is not done—there is still so much to learn. It is only through better understanding that we can develop targeted, sustainable conservation strategies with the local people who share their space with wildlife to secure the long-term future of giraffe in Africa.

We envision a world where all giraffe can live wild and free within their historical ranges or habitats throughout Africa and are protected by the people around them.

Join us on our journey and help save giraffe today, before it’s too late tomorrow.
