Tracking Giraffes in Kenya

You would think the world’s tallest land mammal would be easy to study, but very little is known about Kenya’s reticulated giraffe population. Scientists believe that habitat loss and increased human disturbance have sent the numbers of wild reticulated giraffes into sharp decline, but they do not have the data to prove it.

To better study wild giraffes, scientists designed a large-scale, innovative, solar-based GPS tracking system. This system, partially funded by Conservation Nation, is helping gain critical information regarding giraffe behavior in the face of human activity, migration, habitat destruction, and ecology challenges.

On the Right Track

Eight of Conservation Nation’s wildlife projects have included the purchase of high-tech tracking equipment. And that’s just us. Trackers are everywhere—being used in studies on
