Advocates Really Want Giraffes to Be Included on the Endangered Species List

Five wildlife organizations put the giraffe on the endangered species list through a petition sent to the US Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday.

According to the Natural Resources Protection Council, the population of Kirin has decreased by 40% in the past 30 years. According to the Board of Directors, there are 97,000 giraffes in the wild.

The Natural Resources Protection Council insists that the decline in population is due to 'lemurs, kirin seeking international trade in harvest destruction and fragmentation, and giraffe bone carving and hunting trophies' .

The International Conservation Union for Nature reported that the giraffe "extinct" in 2016.

Elly Pepper, Vice Chairman of NRDC, says: "Providing the Kirin Endangered Species Protection Act will be a major step towards rescuing them from the crisis of extinction."

The petition adds that the petition to protect the highest athletic animals is that African giraffes are actually fewer than elephants.

People claiming animal rights say that this is particularly concern for Kirin. As the number of the highest mammals in the world dramatically decreased, the group called for giraffes to be protected by the Endangered Species Protection Act. Giraffe will only be given a threatened state - it means that it does not get ruined hunter protection. According to NPR, the kirin trophy is required by Americans and imports an average of one animal per day. If a proposed amendment to the Endangered Species Act is passed, it will be the latest in the trophy hunting community. Under the guidance of Ryan Zinke 's Secretary of State, the US Fish and Wildlife Service has released a series of bans that prohibit the import of large games, including elephants and lions from several African countries, including Zimbabwe and Zambia. As a result, Zinke gave the dead more than 30 import permits during his term, some of which were from previously banned countries.

On 19 April this year five major wildlife conservation groups requested the American fish and wildlife authority to designate Giraffa camelopardalis as an endangered species. As stated in the petition, "The dramatic decrease in the size of the population of Kirin is mainly due to loss of habitat, commercial abuse, severe poaching, this decline remains unabated. However, the extinction of the current speed is not meaning by any means. Scientists estimate that at least 99 of the 100 species of the world today are the result of human activity. Like giraffes, rarely kill seeds to a forgotten state, but accomplish this by destroying the habitat, poaching and doing legal hunting. As the petition pointed out, "Iraq once occupied most of the African savanna and savanna forests ... over the past three decades, the population has declined by 40% from 36%."
