The endangered West African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta) live freely in an anthropised environment in the transition zone of the Biosphere Reserve of Park W, Niger. Demographic pressure and agricultural practices in this area pose a threat through habitat fragmentation of these West African giraffe, prompting them to change their behaviour over the last few decades. As part of the conservation of the West African giraffe, the Government of Niger with GCF-SCF and local and international collaborative partners (AVEN and WCA) undertook a host of meetings and field-based translocation assessment for the West African giraffe in Niger from 4-11 November 2017 with additional financial support from Saint Louis Zoo. The main objective of the mission was to meet with relevant local and government authorities, including the Minister, Director General, Governor and Mayors to determine the practicalities and viability of establishing a new translocated population of the last remaining West African giraffe in Niger.
