Endangered giraffes rescued from flooded island
Video showed the final rescue of the last of nine endangered Rothchild’s giraffes from their flooded island in Kenya.
Mission accomplished: The last of nine endangered giraffes were rescued on April 12 from their flooded island in Kenya, concluding a 15-month-long endeavor, according to the Save Giraffes Now organization.
Floodwaters around the giraffes’ home island in Lake Baringo were slowly rising for years, but in 2020, the rate of rising floodwaters increased, flooding lakeshore homes, businesses, and threatening the lives of the small group of Rothschild’s giraffe on Longicharo Island, in Ruko Community Conservancy, according to a Save the Giraffes Now news release.
