Even the tallest species on the savanna needs a helping hand 🦒

Enter Twiga Walinzi, a community-led conservation program developed alongside our partners that is dedicated to conserving reticulated giraffes across Kenya by conducting field research, monitoring native populations, and supporting coexistence between people and nature.

These efforts have been incredibly successful and are reducing the frequency of illegal giraffe poaching around the country. Thanks to the dedication of the giraffe guards, this iconic species has a hopeful chance for the future.
