Thamo Telele and Natural Selection are proudly supporting the Giraffe Conservation Foundation’s (GCF) taxonomic assessment of Botswana.

Over the past 3 years, our resident giraffe scientists have been collecting giraffe DNA samples from around the country to gain greater understanding of Botswana’s giraffe populations. These samples feed into a wider GCF taxonomic assessment of giraffe throughout Africa.

This work has helped to better understand how many species of giraffe there are and where they live, but most importantly it guides conservation management decisions for giraffe in all of Africa and where we should focus urgent conservation actions.
