Description
Long ago, Nubian giraffes roamed wild across Uganda.
Over time, as people constructed roads and towns, giraffe habitat and populations shrank. By 2016, nearly all of the country’s two hundred and fifty giraffes were grouped in one area within Murchison Falls National Park. Then a rich oil deposit was discovered there and companies made plans to start drilling, which would make the area unlivable for giraffes.
To preserve their dwindling population, the Ugandan government enlisted the help of a giraffe conservation organization to move a group of giraffes across a river to safer territory. Can they do it in time to keep the giraffes safe?

Myra Z, Educator
Short chapters with catchy titles, an attractive and colorful format, large photos, and well-written text combine to make The Great Giraffe Rescue: Saving the Nubian Giraffes an engrossing read. Readers learn how these giraffes were declining in numbers and were further threatened by. companies drilling for oil in their surroundings. To turn this around, conservation efforts began to transport them to more supportive environments and to create multiple groups of giraffes in several settings. An uplifting, well-told, and informative true story by author Sandra Markle.
