Unfortunate: Giraffes join the list of animals in danger of extinction

Undoubtedly, the giraffe is one of the most beautiful wild animals in the world. Her pigmentation, the length of her neck and her friendly face have made her a beloved species among wildlife lovers.

Unfortunately, it has entered the list of animals in danger of extinction. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature made the alert call: the number of giraffes fell below 160,000 copies since 2015.

The decline is due to threats from humans and poaching that are killing what is considered the tallest animal in the world. Currently, the number has continued to fall so scientists have been forced to declare the species in danger of extinction.
Organizations and animal protectors have been warning this news for many years. And, in the last three decades, the number of giraffes has been greatly reduced by three main causes: hunting, ecological changes and the loss of their habitat.

According to experts, the planet is experiencing a new mass extinction, the sixth in 500 million years. And they say that species now disappear between 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than one or two centuries ago.
