About The Last Giraffe

An independent giraffe publication and evidence map.

The Last Giraffe publishes sourced explainers and makes a large giraffe research index easier to explore. Alongside that work, we are developing a vision for a future reserve, sanctuary and conservation lodge.

Explore Our project — a proposed initiative seeking founding supporters and partners, not an operating reserve.

What exists today

The publication and evidence base.

Explore 228 giraffe articles and a searchable catalogue of 3,620 research records across 20 evidence areas. 228 articles carry an editorial review date. Those dates record our checking process, not scientific peer review or a guarantee that every source remains current.

Our role

Understand the evidence.

We publish explanations and connect readers with original sources. Field research and conservation work belong to the scientists, communities, and organisations identified in those sources.

Editorial standard

Claims stop where the evidence stops.

Articles should identify sources, dates, uncertainty, and the difference between a reported fact, a working interpretation, and an unfinished review.

The Last Giraffe is responsible for the explanations we publish, our use of AI assistance, and corrections. The scientists cited in an article are responsible for the original research; they are not presented as our editors or as endorsing our account. Send a correction with the article link and the passage or source at issue to science@thelastgiraffe.org.

Read the science methods

Current scope is explicit

The site describes what exists now without borrowing credibility from imagined future operations.

Sources before certainty

Science pages distinguish bibliographic coverage, machine classification, working interpretation, and human verification.

Corrections without theatre

Substantive errors should be corrected openly, with the current source and changed claim made clear.

No borrowed impact

No partner, acreage, ranger, beneficiary, or field result is implied without evidence.
