Photo by @amivitale. Twigs, a reticulated giraffe, comes back to Sarara Camp (@sararacamp) every morning to check in with ranger Lekupania, who saved her life. Twigs was found upside down and stuck in an erosion gully and immediately rescued by the local community. She has been successfully introduced back into the wild. Until now, scientists had recognized only a single species of giraffe, made up of several subspecies. But according to the most inclusive genetic analysis of giraffe relationships to date, giraffes actually are not one species, but four. Current estimates are that giraffe populations across Africa have dropped 40 percent in 25 years, plummeting from 140,000 in the late 1990s to about 85,000 today. Reticulated giraffe number less than 8,700 individuals — as a distinct species, it makes them some of the most endangered large mammals in the world. Sarara sits on the 850,000-acre Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy and is owned by the Samburu community.
