    Faces a high risk of extinction in the wild.

    Northern giraffes face significant threats from habitat loss and fragmentation due to human activities, as well as poaching. While conservation efforts are ongoing, including anti-poaching patrols and community engagement, the population continues to decline. Responsible safari tourism plays a vital role by generating revenue that funds conservation initiatives and by raising awareness among visitors about the importance of protecting these magnificent animals.

    The northern giraffe, also known as the three-horned giraffe, is a species of giraffe native to North Africa.
