The Giraffe Centre is a conservation and education center located in Nairobi, Kenya. It was established in 1979 by the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW) in collaboration with the Kenyan Wildlife Service. The primary focus of the Giraffe Centre is the preservation and conservation of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, a species native to East Africa.
The center plays a crucial role in the conservation of Rothschild’s giraffe, which is one of the most endangered giraffe subspecies. The facility is home to a breeding program that helps increase the giraffe population and reintroduce them into the wild.
