There are only an estimated 111,000 giraffes remaining in all of Africa. Twiga Tracker, a program using innovative GPS satellite solar units ("twiga" means "giraffe" in Swahili), helps conservationists understand where giraffes live, where they move and how they use their habitat. 

Twiga Tracker aims to track a minimum of 250 giraffes across their range. So far, tracking units have been deployed in Botswana, Chad, DRC, Ethiopia, Namibia, Niger, Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe and are deliving valuable data. 

Twiga Tracker is a collaborative initiative of some of the biggest names in field conservation and science: GCF has partnered with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, San Diego Zoo Global and Wildlife Conservation Alliance to achieve this logistically and financially ambitious goal.

At a cost of $2,500 USD per unit, deployment in remote areas of Africa will cost an estimated $4,000-$5,000 per unit – a total of more than $1 million. 

Your contribution can help the Giraffe Conservation Foundation meet its goal.
