The Somali Giraffe Project uses community-led conservation, remote camera traps, and research to monitor reticulated giraffes in northern Kenya, capturing rare insights into their nocturnal behavior, water usage, and promoting local stewardship to protect this endangered species.

🦒 When giraffes fight, they don’t roar — they neck. A test of strength, power, and grace. Only the strongest wins the right to lead. #GiraffeFacts #GiraffeConservation #WildlifeConservation #HirolaConservation #SomaliGiraffeProject #KWS #WCN

When you educate the younger generation about wildlife, they become the future guardians of nature. By understanding and protecting animals like the Somali giraffe 🦒, we are shaping a better, wilder tomorrow. #educationawareness #savegiraffes

A Day in the Life of a Ranger From sunrise patrols to late-night monitoring, our rangers are the heartbeat of conservation. Each day, they walk long distances under the hot sun, track wildlife, remove snares, and work closely with communities to protect our wildlife.

The survival of the Hirola antelope is at risk due to declining grass cover in their habitats. With their main grazing areas already degraded, the upcoming October–November short rains are critical for restoring grasslands and supporting the remaining population until next year’s

Caught in the act! This curious giraffe was busy browsing when it suddenly turned to give us that look as if saying, “Did you just film me?” 😄 Which is your favorite animal?

Our camera traps are meant to monitor wildlife visiting waterholes, but this baboon clearly had other plans! Instead of just quenching his thirst, he struck a pose and gifted us a perfect baboon selfie.

We're testing safe, sustainable giraffe deterrents—like solar lamps, scarecrows & beehives—with farmers facing crop raids. Community feedback is key to building coexistence. 🌾🦒 #GiraffeConservation #HumanWildlifeCoexistence #SomaliGiraffeProject #HirolaConservation

As we eagerly await the short rains, the Tana River continues to serve as a vital lifeline for both wildlife and local communities. In these anxious and challenging times, its waters provide much-needed relief to giraffes and other wildlife species across Garissa County.

A young hyena was killed on the Modika–Shimbirey Highway — another tragic case of roadkill. We must act: wildlife crossings, signs, and speed control can save lives. 📍 Somali Giraffe Project #RoadkillAwareness #WildlifeConservation #SomaliGiraffeProject

We are thrilled to share that our founder and director, Dr. Ali Abdullahi, has been honored with the 2025 Animal Action Award for Lifetime Achievement ifaw.pixieset.com/aaa2025/. This prestigious recognition celebrates his lifelong dedication for endangered hirola antelope.

Each acacia tree we plant helps restore vital habitat for giraffes and other wildlife. Our goal isn’t just to plant trees — it’s to bring back the landscapes that sustain life. #TreePlanting #GreeningOurPlanet #ClimateAction #Sustainability

Giraffes and livestock now share our rangelands peacefully — a sign that coexistence is taking root. Through community engagement, herders see giraffes as part of the same landscape they depend on. #HumanWildlifeCoexistence #SomaliGiraffe

The short rain in Garissa was brief, but for our Somali giraffes, it was a breath of life. Every drop brings new hope for the wild we work to protect. #SomaliGiraffeProject

Our committed rangers are restoring degraded rangelands to protect the critically endangered Hirola. With the short rains, new life is returning. Your donation keeps such mission alive donate.wildnet.org/?fund=Hirola_a…"

The white giraffe’s appearance is due to leucism, a rare but naturally occurring genetic condition that affects pigmentation.

Co-existence in action Somali giraffes and the critically endangered hirola share the same rangelands by using nature differently—browsing and grazing in balance. Protecting habitats means protecting this harmony.#SomaliGiraffe #SaveHirola #Coexistence #Conservation

Roads are one of the biggest threats to wildlife worldwide. “Even one vehicle can change everything for an animal crossing its natural habitat.
