Emergency! the Giraffe Will be Gone from the Earth

One of the iconic animals, the giraffe, is referred to as one of the endangered animals of the Earth. Recent data say, the population of giraffes in Africa now live 90 thousand, decreased 40 percent from 15 years ago that is 500 thousand.

The amount is even less when compared with the African elephant population of 500 thousand.

"Everyone thinks if they are everywhere but that is not the case. The number continues to decrease. It will be very sad life of the world without giraffe, "said giraffe Dr. Julian Fennessy.

Need to know, at this time, giraffes are already extinct in seven countries. One of the most endangered populations today is the Rothchild giraffe living in Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda. The group only has a membership of a thousand giraffes.

Fennesy launched a rescue mission to move the Ugandan Giraffe population after studying if there were only a few remaining giraffe. The Conservation team is trying to build a new population by moving 20 Giraffes to a new place across the Nile River. This place is considered much safer.

Today almost all animals live around the Nile. While at the same time, more than 75 percent of the oil is stored beneath the land and exploration is now being planned. "Do not keep all the eggs in one basket," said Tom Okello, head of Murchison Falls National Park as quoted by Telegraph, June 18, 2016.

Although not an easy thing to catch wild giraffes. Big size makes them hard to calm down. If they are too pushy, they can fall and suffer from fatal injuries. At the same time, humans who capture giraffes can also be in danger. A Giraffe weighing over a ton can decapitate a man with a single kick.

Giraffes should be shot with sedatives. His eyes should be closed so it can be easily dribbled into a special trailer so it can be carried across the river. The team only has 20 minutes for all of those processes. Teams must reinvigorate giraffes with certain medications. Otherwise, the giraffe is at risk of death. Each giraffe will be equipped with special necklaces. With the necklace, researchers can monitor giraffe movements via satellite.
