SOUNDBITE: (English) Emmanuel Ngumbi, Assistant Manager, Giraffe Centre:\u003cbr/\u003e\"As a conservationist, I am happy and also worried, because the giraffes, I think by the IUCN listing them as endangered sub species, they will get more conservation attention and also concern and the giraffe conservation stake holders have come together to come up with a strategy so that they can be able to save this endangered sub species by coming up with conservation strategies which is being spear headed by the K.W.S (Kenya Wildlife Service) and we hope we can be able to fight so that the Rothschild giraffe and all the other giraffes in Kenya can be listed as protected species.\"\u003cbr/\u003e15. Wide shot of giraffes at the Giraffe Centre, Nairobi.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are fewer than 670 white socked giraffe, commonly known as the Rothschild giraffe, left in the world.\u003cbr/\u003eThe species was recently put on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) list of endangered species.\u003cbr/\u003eGiraffe conservationists say they're happy that the species has been recognised as needing IUCN help, but say much more needs be done to save the Rothschild from extinction.\u003cbr/\u003eRothschild, the world's rarest sub-species of giraffe, is on the verge of extinction.\u003cbr/\u003eOver the years, the numbers have dwindled to less than 670 in the wild, with approximately 470 dispersed between Uganda and Kenya, and an unknown number in southern Sudan.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's because their numbers have remained below 1000, currently their numbers stand at 670 in the wild having 430 members of the Rothschild, that's in the country, Kenya, and the threats which are facing them are still enormous and we don't want to talk about an extinct species, a species which used to have a long neck and today you cannot find it for our future children. So this is the time to take the action not only for Kenya as a country but in the whole world, all giraffe lovers, all conservationists should come up together, team up to come up with a strategy which can be able to promote sustainable conservation of the giraffe especially the Rothschild which is endangered at the moment,\" says Emmanuel Ngumbi, an assistant manager at the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi.\u003cbr/\u003eEncroachment by human settlements into their natural habitat progressively over they years has led to the alarming rate at which they are disappearing.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Rothschild used to be common in the western part of Kenya and eastern parts of Uganda, but the area where they used to be found in western Kenya, that's in Soi, that area was taken over by the government and sub divided amongst the local people and this area having a high potential for agriculture, people had to sub divide the land and started clearing down the forests so that they could create more space to plant the crops and they had to kill the giraffes because they were destroying their crops otherwise they just lost their original habitats to farming. In Uganda, many of them were shot down by the soldiers during the war with Idi Amin either as their practice targets or probably for their food in terms of meat,\" says Ngumbi.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Rothschild's uniqueness lies in the fact that it is the only giraffe species without patches on its legs. Its legs are white from the knees to the feet giving the illusion that it is wearing white stockings.\u003cbr/\u003eAttaining a height of nearly 20ft (6.096 metres) when fully grown, the Rothschild is the tallest of the giraffe species and consequently the tallest mammal in the world.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Giraffe Centre in Kenya attracts tourists from every corner of the world. Visitors can enjoy the experience of feeding and photographing the giraffes.\u003cbr/\u003e\"One I'm very sad to hear that they're going on the endangered list, I think like most of all the other animals it's very sad to hear that as human beings we're finishing other species and it's good that these centres exist so that we still have one access to them even though it's kind of selfish

also for the animals themselves so that they can continue to exist as we continue to exist,\" says Maria Cardenas, a tourist visiting Kenya all the way from Spain.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile the listing of the species as endangered highlights the critical state of the species, Ngumbi says it sheds some hope for the Rothschild, \u003cbr/\u003e\"As a conservationist, I am happy and also worried, because the giraffes, I think by the IUCN listing them as endangered sub species, they will get more conservation attention and also concern and the giraffe conservation stake holders have come together to
