Standing tall on World Giraffe Day

World Giraffe Day is annually celebrated on the 21st of June. It is an event that was started by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to wholeheartedly celebrate the longest-necked animal on the longest day or night (depending on which hemisphere you live) of the year. 

It is a worldwide celebration of these gloriously amazing and much-loved animals. It raises awareness about their importance and why we must conserve them. It also is about learning more about the various challenges they are facing.

This year’s theme is Putting people at the centre of giraffe conservation, as chosen by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation.
