The Masai giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelsk

The Masai giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchii), also spelled Maasai giraffe, also called Kilimanjaro giraffe, is the largest subspecies of giraffe. It is native to East Africa. The Masai giraffe can be found in central and southern Kenya and in Tanzania. It has distinctive, irregular, jagged, star-like blotches that extend to the hooves. A median forehead lump is usually present in bulls.

Masai giraffes are considered endangered by the IUCN,and the Masai giraffe population declined 52% in recent decades due to poaching and habitat loss. Overall, the approximate number of all populations accumulate to 32,550 in the wild. Demographic studies of wild giraffes living inside and outside protected areas suggest low adult survival outside protected areas due to poaching, and low calf survival inside protected areas due to predation are the primary influences on population growth rates. Survival of giraffe calves is influenced by the season of birth, and the seasonal local presence or absence of long-distance migratory herds of wildebeest and zebra. Metapopulation analysis indicated protected areas were important for keeping giraffes in the larger landscape.In situ conservation of Masai giraffes is being done by several government agencies including Kenya Wildlife Service, Tanzania National Parks, Zambia Wildlife Authority; and non-governmental organizations including PAMS Foundation, and Wild Nature Institute. Community-based wildlife conservation areas have also been shown to be effective at protecting giraffes. At several zoos, Masai giraffe have become pregnant and successfully given birth.

My name is Nagoti and I arrived at Ngamba in 1999.

My name is Nagoti and I arrived at Ngamba in 1999. I had a rather traumatic beginning so when I first arrived I was unhealthy, timid and frightened by the larger chimps. Today I am healthy and confident.

I am calling upon friends and guardians to celebrate 12 years of staying at the sanctuary. Am looking out for sponsors or guardians for donations through http://goto.gg/46722.

Greetings from Sophie, am estimated to be born in 1986 and arrived at Ngamba in 1998. I was on my way to Dubai part of the illegal pet trade before being rescued and sent to Ngamba. I absolutely love building nests and know my way around the forests, often showing new chimps where the best fruit trees are found.

Today am calling upon friends and guardians to celebrate 12 years of staying at the sanctuary. Am looking out for sponsors or guardians for donations through http://goto.gg/46722.

Africa's landscapes vary from place to place, just as the unique diversity of the people & nature that thrives all across. Equally, Africa's growing youthful population is taking up leadership when it comes to Nature-based solutions. An intergenerational approach to NBS implementation is important in preserving, protecting, restoring & sustainably managing nature across Africa. How can we learn from each other? How can the young & the old complement efforts towards protecting Africa's green paradises? Is there a common ground to bring all these aspects and groups together? We think there is, and it is the very reason bringing this session to be. *************************************************************

Imagine a world where every individual makes a dec

Imagine a world where every individual makes a decisions based on conservation, environment and sustainable development principles.

We will be able to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals within a very short time and have a healthy environment.

Our dream is to be able to make each and every individual around my circles and the world to understand why and how they need to conserve the environment and make sustainable decisions while going about their daily lives.

With support for Chimpanzee Trust Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary we are supporting schools with wildlife literature material in Uganda, and giving them a whole full lesson on species conservation (Chimpanzees) . We hope to reach 50 schools around the Bugoma Forest, we need not to stop at just giving books but educating the next generation. To support this initiative visit https://friendsofchimps.org/donate/ and donate to reach more children with wildlife classes and lessons.

According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which designates endangered species, the world’s tallest mammal, the giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), is now a vulnerable species, with the population down 40% in 30 years.

Recent research by Giraffe Conservation Foundation and partners has clearly identified four distinct species of giraffe in Africa – Masai, southern, northern, and Reticulated giraffe, with several subspecies.

Dis-respecting the wildlife and environment you li

Dis-respecting the wildlife and environment you live in is like you playing board game, that you think you are winning but you are not, you are creating gaps that nature will come back and restore it self. #Naturewillalwayswins.
The name Arabuko Sokoke derives from words used by the Waata tribe that lived in the #forest: arbi meaning elephant, huk'o meaning thin, and sokoke "short (trees)". It therefore means, a "forest of the thin #elephant". Arabuko Sokoke is the remnant of the largest block of coastal indigenous dry forest on the continent, which once stretched from southern Somalia to northern Mozambique. The forest, which covers 420 sq km and measures 41,765 hectares, is in Malindi, 110km north of Mombasa. It borders the Indian Ocean. The forest was first declared a crown land in 1934.

The forest consists of three ecosystems: mixed forest, Brachystegia (tropical timber) forest and Gynometra forest. Arabuko is a designated Unesco Biosphere Reserve, and believed to contain titanium deposits.
Keep the amazing work Friends of Arabuko-Sokoke Forest and Kenya Forest Service for conserving the forest.
Play safe games with conserving the environment, Humans are not going to win. So respect nature and forest.

Communicating Climate Change using Photography. Im

Communicating Climate Change using Photography.
Images are powerful. When words aren’t enough to make sense of the things around us.
It’s amazing how, the fishermen in Rusinga Island are mitigating climate change by using solar powered lights to attract the small fish “omena”. Just a few years ago all night fishermen used so many gallons of kerosene to light up their pressure lamps, as they prepare for the night. They would use a lot of time and resources to make sure the pressure lamps are well maintained and would last a whole night while fishing.
But now they are using the rechargeable powered lights, this has reduced the production cost of fishing, resulting to increased profits (hypothetical conclusion, more research may be needed). They now use clean energy that supports the environment.
Today if you come to Rusinga Island you will see the ‘Ghost City” coming up with while lights but in the past the lights were all ‘yellow’ lights. The use of clean energy to support fishing is a key step in mitigating climate change.
For Photographers, Canon 70D, 50 to 100 mm Sigma Art Lens f1.8, Natural light. Supported by Cameras Kenya (Visit to but all your photographic equipment)

The goals of the sanctuary are to:

Provide a safe home for rescued chimpanzees while also caring for the environment & other wildlife on the island;
Provide a high-quality educational experience for visitors
Benefit local communities.
