continues on the platform where the educator will place the enrichment, and
where you can experience the wonder of a close-up view of one of the world\u2019s
tallest mammals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    With less than 90,000 giraffes remaining in the wild, it\u2019s time to take action to secure the future of this species. The Parco Zoo Punta Verde, in collaboration with the Punta Verde In Situ ONLUS<\/strong> organisation, contributes to protecting giraffes by donating part of the admission fee to the GIRAFFE CONSERVATION FOUNDATION<\/strong>, a foundation dedicated to giraffe conservation based in Namibia. This donation enables the purchase of equipment for field research such as satellite collars and camera traps, and the implementation of educational projects to raise awareness among young Namibians about the importance of respecting and conserving nature.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
