Africa's wild giraffe population has plunged dramatically and the world's tallest animals are in theprocess of a "silent extinction", a conservation group has reported
Giraffe populations have fallen by up to 40% over the last 30 years, the International Union forConservation of Nature says in the latest edition of its "Red List" of endangered species The gentle giants'numbers have dipped from as many as 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 in 2015, according to thereport The steep decline was one of the headline statistics from the report, and is driven by some familiarfactors including habitat loss, civil unrest and unforgettably, illegal hunting Elsewhere, of the 742 newlyrecognized bird species in the list, 11% are considered threatened ‒ and 13 already listed as "extinct".Many species are slipping away before we can even describe them This IUCN Red List update showsthat the scale of the global extinction crisis may be even greater than we thought Among bird speciesunder threat is the African grey parrot, a popular pet, which is now classed as "Endangered" on the listbecause of "unsustainable trapping and habitat loss."
Across animals, birds, insects, aquatic life and plants, the IUCN Red List now includes 85,604species, of which 24,307 are threatened with extinction
The plunge in the number of wild giraffe prompted the group to move the animals from the "least
concern" rating to "vulnerable", in the report "While giraffes are commonly seen on safari, in the mediaand in zoos, people ‒ including conservationists ‒ are unaware that these majestic animals are undergoing
a silent extinction," IUCN co-Chairman Julian Fennessy, was quoted as saying "With a decline of almost40% in the last three decades alone, the world's tallest animal is under severe pressure in some of its core
ranges across East, Central and West Africa As one of the world's most iconic animals, it is timely that
we take risks for the giraffe before it is too late." Of nine subspecies of giraffe, five are declining innumbers, while three have increasing populations and one is stable
