Giraffe Blue
Giraffe Blue
There was a continuous competition between wildlife and natural resources and spaces. In addition, the growing human population increases pressure animal nature.
The last wild giraffes in Niger, West Africa are an example. Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world which pressure towards wildlife is greater. However, it also provides for the fruitful collaboration between conservation and development. Thank you to the commitments the Government of Niger through ASGN (Association to Save the Giraffes of Niger), and later in the financing of the EU, the number of wild animals giraffe increases 50 in 1990 to 200 in January 2009.
You can see giraffes mingle among the people, houses and fields and cities Haoukoussa Yeni. I had the opportunity visit in January 2009. It was a beautiful day with blue sky and the breeze. In the wild giraffes visits, you must visit the office of conservation projects © Kura in village 60 km from Niamey, in the manner of Dosso. You must pay for the visitors' entrance fees and guide fees.
We have to go through the bushes and fields of millet. We went for about twenty minutes until the guide pointed to the great distance slender creature. "Look yonder," said French. I could not stop smiling after that. We found foraging giraffe in Faidherbia albida in the central field of millet. It was the end of the harvest season, so it was not a problem to find Giraffe there. He is so cute! Do not you think?
On the right side of the giraffe are two women sitting under a tree after having worked in the field. She seems so strange to see a giraffe is beside the man. The giraffe does not seem I found trouble and the women worked by accident. After have taken some photos with lots of smiles and laughter that we were so happy, running the Giraffe in the field. She ran and the guide said we had better find another group of giraffes. We went for about ten minutes and finally found two male giraffes. The guide said it was OK to approach them, because they are used for human health now. I approached them and I could be as close as five feet away. Giraffe is definitely much bigger than me! You know what I felt the smell of Thai basil (Kemang) around me! When asked, he replied: "Yes, this is the way the smell. "
We moved again and found a group of 20 giraffes. I also saw a cute baby giraffe with its mother. Another cute couple was spotted. It was a short but full of surprises that we never thought we could fins giraffes goals in less than two hours. On the way back we passed a school built in the visitors level. The guide also mentioned that part of the contribution of visitors is used for different purposes to create a direct benefit to people and compensate the local existence of wild giraffes. For example, payment of damages proposed in areas such as giraffes like to eat the crops during the rainy season. Other contributions have the form of sewing machines and carts pulled by donkeys to the village. As for poaching, said he never heard back on giraffe poaching cases in the village. In fact, tourism creates jobs and income for local people.
It is certainly a good example of the synergy between research and conservation. Conservation projects have been criticized for putting the interests of local people on your side, or simply exclude the process of negotiation.
You can go to Niamey, Niger and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
