Historically, giraffes ranged from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. However, giraffes have lost much of their original habitat and are no longer found in Eritrea, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mauritania and Senegal. They may also have vanished from Angola, Mali, and Nigeria but have been reintroduced to Rwanda and Eswatini. Giraffes evolved approximately 25 million years ago from hoofed animals that lived in both Africa and Eurasia. They died out in Eurasia but survived and diversified in Africa, forming several subspecies with different coat patterns in different regions.

Of the eight recognized giraffe subspecies (based on physical features and geographic ranges), the Kordofan and Nubian giraffes are critically endangered. In comparison, the reticulated giraffe and the Maasai giraffe are endangered, and the West African giraffe and Thornicroft’s giraffe are vulnerable. The number of Angolan giraffes, widespread in Angola, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia, is increasing.

Earth Day was born out of growing public alarm in the late 1960s – a period marked by oil spills, toxic dumping, smog-choked cities, and the visible destruction of natural habitats. In 1970, student activist Denis Hayes channelled that concern into action, organising a series of campus teach-ins across the United States to raise awareness and demand political accountability.

On 22 April 1970, over 20 million Americans took to the streets. They brought national attention to issues that had been largely ignored by policymakers, including air and water pollution, pesticide use, deforestation, and the unchecked destruction of ecosystems. It was a moment of collective awakening, and it worked: the first Earth Day directly contributed to the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency and laid the groundwork for landmark legislation, including the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.

More than five decades later, Earth Day has grown into the world’s largest civic environmental event, mobilising over a billion people each year across more than 190 countries.
