Benjamin who is the education officer gave us a brief history of the center which was started for the conservation of these endangered species of wildlife, due to human encroachment and poaching for bush meat in the western parts of Kenya, The founders conceived a unique idea on how to conserved the few remain Rothschild giraffes by creating a safe haven for them in 1979.
They rehabilitated young giraffes and reintroduced them back to the wild after every three years of every individual being in the center.
He elaborated more about the species.
Rothschild's giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis Rothschildi) is one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies, with only a few hundred members in the wild. Also known as the Baringo giraffe, after the Lake Baringo area of Kenya, or as the Ugandan giraffe. All of those living in the wild are in protected areas in Kenya and Uganda.
What was amazing is that the giraffes were keeping on visit the balcony for their nutrition food called pellets, that gives us the conservationists a feel of what we love most by coming closer to these iconic animals of our heritage.
