West Africa's last giraffes stage a surprising rebound
In Niger the critically endangered Giraffa camelopardalis peralta population has risen from about 50 in 1996 to over 200 today. Conservation groups, government action, and village cooperation helped protect habitat and tourism income. Local guides like Mounkaila accompany visitors through the giraffe zones, aided by wells and tree planting funded by zoos and Monaco foundation.
