Giraffe: A Silent Extinction
The giraffe is an icon of Africa, thousands of tourists travel around the globe every year to see them in the wild, yet in the last century, giraffes have gone extinct in 7 countries and population numbers have dwindled by 40%, leaving less than 70,000 adults in the wild. That is just one giraffe for every five African elephants, yet very few people are aware of their situation. Over the course of a year the film crew travel across the continent to join the fight to save these gentle giants, bringing awareness to their plight and ultimately, helping to prevent its silent extinction.
