Seasonal Dynamics Impact Habitat Preferences and Protected Area Use of the Critically Endangered Kordofan Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum)

Understanding animals’ habitat selection and movement behaviours relative to human activities is important for evaluating resource requirements and ensuring effective conservation management. The world’s largest remaining population of Kordofan giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum) reside in Zakouma National Park, Chad. However, it is unclear whether the park boundaries sufficiently encompass the full range of this population’s preferred habitats. We used GPS telemetry data from 17 female giraffe over multiple years to better understand landscape and seasonal factors that influence their home

Population structure and spatial ecology of Kordofan giraffe in Garamba National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo

Population numbers of Kordofan giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum) have declined throughout its range by more than 85% in the last three decades, including in the isolated easternmost population found in the Garamba National Park (NP) in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We provide new data on the conservation status and ecology of Kordofan giraffe in Garamba NP, specifically on the current population dynamics, distribution patterns, and spatial ecology for informed conservation management decisions. Data were gathered between September 26, 2016,
