Photo by @amivitale. Rothschild’s (Nubian) giraffe browse on Longicharo Island, a rocky lava pinnacle, inside western Kenya’s Lake Baringo. They had become stranded there because of flooding. The giraffes were originally reintroduced to a remote peninsula along Lake Baringo in 2012, in hopes that the isolated location would provide shelter from poaching and increase their population in their native Western Kenyan range. However, the rising lake levels cut the peninsula into an island and trapped them. The local community is partnering with @savegiraffesnow @nrt_kenya and @kenyawildlifeservice, to rescue them.If you love giraffes as much as I do and want to help see giraffes continue to thrive in the wild, please consider supporting @savegiraffesnow and these organizations: @nrt_kenya @kenyawildlifeservice @thephotosociety @photography.for.good #RukoGiraffe #protectgiraffes #DontLetThemDisappear #giraffe #giraffes #SaveGiraffesNow #SaveGiraffe #stoppoaching #kenya #northernkenya #africa #everydayafrica #photojournalism #nikon #nikonlove #nikonambassador #nikonnofilter #natureisspeaking #conservation #amivitale (at Lake Baringo Kenya)https://www.instagram.com/p/CLIRPnwhnv9/?igshid=9j285gtm4iiq -- source link
