An insight into the social behaviour of the giraffe
Zarafa are supporting a research project into the social networks of the giraffe, being carried out by Wendy Thorogood, who is currently studying a Masters degree at Anglia Ruskin University. The analysis of social connections between giraffe contributes to determining the best course of action for conservation management. Species of giraffe have been undergoing what is called a 'silent extinction' with overall numbers dropping by 40% in just three generations.
Updates on the research project will follow as Wendy carries out her research into this beautiful animal, supporting the global effort to aid its survival.
