A severe drought in Kenya is attacking humans and
animals alike, parching upwards of half of the country, leaving death in its
wake. Just recently, rangers at the Sabuli Wildlife Conservancy in northeast
Kenya discovered six of their protected giraffes laying dead, starved and
dehydrated to death. The desperate animals had apparently been struggling to
reach a water reservoir when their malnourished legs got caught in mud. Too
weak to escape, all six creatures died right there, stuck, yearning for
water that they would never reach. Even worse, these six parched giraffes
are a warning sign: more giraffes are about to die if something doesn't
change.
The extreme drought has depleted not only the
region's water, but also most plants and crops, and it's clearly linked to
climate change. Droughts in African countries are occurring more frequently
and lasting longer than they have historically — with no rain yet in sight
for Sabuli in Kenya. Experts say approximately 4,000 additional giraffes as
well as more than 2 million Kenyans are also at risk of slow, painful deaths
from drought-induced starvation. Kenyan authorities are working hard around
the clock to provide for both their people and their wildlife — but we as an
international community can do more to help. Sign the petition to urge the
United Nations to commit to providing humanitarian relief and wildlife
assistance during the drought ravaging Kenya!
Thank you,
