Nubian Giraffe come from areas with a lot of civil unrest: Ethiopia and Sudan; due to the civil unrest, population estimates have been difficult to ascertain. It is currently extinct in the wild of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Eritrea.

It is currently extinct in the wild of Eritrea, Egypt, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Nubian giraffe was widespread throughout northeast Africa. It is found in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and Sudan. Nubian Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis) Nubian Giraffe has large (usually 4 sided) chestnut brown spots against slightly off-white background; it does not have any markings inside its legs or below its knees. Similarly, the Nubian giraffe population is down 98 percent and lives only on protected lands in Kenya.

Enhancing awareness and capacity for giraffe conservation in Kenya is key for the long-term survival of giraffe in the country. The Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis ) is the nominate subspecies of giraffe.

... As of 2010, the IUCN listed Rothschild Giraffe as Endangered. 1, Appendices S3 and S4), based on observation, telemetry and literature data and expert knowledge, that improves the accuracy of the original IUCN Red List Assessment map (Giraffe Conservation Foundation 2016, Muller et al. Nubian giraffe at Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda ©Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) Recent genetic-based research by GCF, Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Change Research Centre and other partners, suggests that there are four distinct species of giraffe instead of only one, however, the IUCN currently only recognises giraffe as one species. Classification and evolution. The subspecies was listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN in 2018. In 2016, the IUCN listed the Nubian giraffe as vulnerable.

The subspecies was listed in 2018 by IUCN as critically endangered.

We produced an updated geographic range map for giraffe (Fig.

Established in 1964, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species. According to the IUCN, both subspecies are “critically endangered,” which means they face an “extremely high risk” of extinction in the wild. The IUCN currently recognizes only one species of giraffe with nine subspecies, one of which is the Nubian giraffe.

Similarly, the Nubian giraffe population is down 98 percent and lives only on protected lands in Kenya.

The Nubian giraffe used to be widespread everywhere on Northeast Africa. In Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, reticulated giraffe numbers fell 60 percent in the roughly three decades to 2018, the IUCN says. Climate change and poaching have been listed as some of the factors leading to the decline in populations of this subspecies. Additional focus areas for Nubian giraffe conservation in Kenya are Lake Nakuru National Park and Soysambu Conservancy, where we work with KWS and other stakeholders.
