Ugandan Wildlife Authority Relocates 12 Endangered Nubian Giraffes to Safer Habitat

The relocation of these 12 Nubian giraffes marks a crucial step in safeguarding this endangered species. The giraffes have been moved to a new habitat that offers them a safer environment away from the encroaching oil drilling activities.
