URGENT ACTION ON KENYA GIRAFFE SURVIVAL, THREATS AND CONSERVATION
Primarily concerned by the reports that in the past 2 Months over 11 Giraffes have been electrocuted by electricity within Nakuru County-Soysambu Conservancy area. Shocking that Kenya Wildlife Service through a press statement dated 21st February 2021 casually seem to acknowledge 2 giraffes electrocution, how such electric power cables were rerouted inside a conservancy and other parks countrywide some along animal migratory paths could not be explained, the online photos of 3 dead giraffes indicates vilest disfigured carcasses, photos circulate online, nearby communities claim over 11 giraffes have befallen such fate.
