Humans have done it again. We F*cked It All Up. Three subspecies of giraffes have been added to the list of endangered animals.
This means that they’re now under the threat of extinction, and it’s mainly due to humans destroying their habitats.
Over the last three decades, 40% of giraffe population have declined according to a new report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
As a result, the subspecies were moved from “Least Concern” to “Vulnerable” now. Making it to “The Red List” of Threatened Species.
Currently, two of the nine giraffe subspecies—the Kordofan and Nubian—are critically endangered, while the Reticulated is endangered. Now, after a recent assessment, the Masai subspecies has also been listed as endangered.
