タロンガ動物園さんのインスタグラム写真 - (タロンガ動物園Instagram)「Today is World Giraffe Day! 🦒🦒 A day to acknowledge the majestic creatures that watch and tower over the African Savannah. Unfortunately, over the last three decades, wild Giraffe numbers have dropped by over 40%. This is known as a 'silent extinction' as the loss of giraffe is not as prevalent in the media than other species of African wildlife. Giraffe numbers have declined due to a range of different factors such as habitat loss, trophy hunting, bush meat and human-population growth. ⁣ ⁣ There are many ways in which you can help the plight of Giraffe including purchasing the beadwork made by more than 600 women in Northern Kenya. This beadwork provides an alternate income to livestock farming which reduces the pressure on natural resources needed to help wildlife survive. ⁣ ⁣ Beads for Wildlife is available at Taronga Zoo Sydney and Taronga Western Plains or via our online retail store.⁣ ⁣ #forthewild #worldgiraffeday #wgd20」6月21日 8時31分
