Giraffes now have International protection
In an attempt to further the protection of wildlife, hundreds of animals have been given protections from animal trade at a recent wildlife convention in Geneva, Switzerland.
The UN Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), released a list (Appendix II designation) detailing the trade of Giraffes and Giraffe related items throughout the USA and Europe.
After being listed as “vulnerable” in 2016, citing an ongoing population decline between 36% and 40% over the last 30 years or three generations, this new protection is good news for Giraffe species all across the African continent.
