Giraffe need help.

Did you know giraffe have become extinct in 7 African countries?​

Giraffe have lost almost 90% of their habitat. Habitat loss is one reason giraffe have been listed as threatened on the IUCN Red List.

Help protect this iconic species today.

Habitat loss threatens giraffe populations throughout Africa.

GCF is restoring giraffe to their rightful place.

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 Translocation Programs are a proven success, and we are actively bringing giraffe back into areas where they originally reigned.
These translocations are truly collaborative efforts which involve the range State government, local communities, donors and other stakeholders. Each translocation requires over a year of study and preparation to ensure the giraffe will be safe and thrive.
All giraffe populations moved by GCF are thriving. Many new calves are now being born in their rightful home.
Translocations help save giraffe.
But we can't do it without you.
This work wouldn’t be possible without the support of our donors and followers.
Your help supports our work with local and international partners, affecting over 100 million acres of giraffe habitat.​

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.
