Photograph by David Chancellor @chancellordavid - reticulated giraffe, samburu national park, northern Kenya - As recently as the turn of the millennium it’s estimated that the population of these extraordinary quirky creatures was some 36,000 - today, they are thought to number fewer than 25% of that and almost all are restricted to the north-east of Kenya. The northern rangelands are subject to frequent and prolonged periods of drought. The human population is growing, swollen by refugees from recent conflicts in Somalia and South Sudan. These are nomadic pastoralists, dependent on their cattle, camels, sheep and goats, and subject to poverty, hunger and sometimes starvation. Automatic weapons have become widespread and its increasingly difficult to provide effective administration over such a vast and remote area as this. This combination of insecurity and deprivation has serious implications for many species of wildlife and, in particular, for reticulated giraffes, which are hunted preferentially when people are forced to adopt coping strategies in the face of threats to their own survival. It’s surprisingly easy to miss one as you drive through the wonderful landscape of this region, and appalling to think that if the decline continues at this rate they may well not be there to miss in the very near future - As an end note, they kind of remind me of the Samburu dressed in their beautiful clothes, strong, regal, with an air of grace and poise. It always seems impossible to me for the Samburu to disappear in the bush; I often find myself stoically staring at them in order to bear witness to the very act of vanishing, and then they’re gone ! Damn !! Missed it again...off I go to find another one, hopefully ?#withbutterfliesandwarriors #conserving #kenya #africa #conservation #giraffe #reticulatedgiraffe #samburu #northernkenya @everydayextinction @ナショナルジオグラフィック @thephotosociety
