How a new arrival could help save rare giraffe

A new Nubian giraffe named Stanley has arrived at Longleat Safari Park to support conservation efforts for the critically endangered species. With fewer than 500 Nubian giraffes remaining in the wild, the park hopes Stanley will contribute to a breeding program that has previously helped increase their numbers. Stanley joins nine female Nubian giraffes born at the park, continuing Longleat's role in preserving the subspecies. His arrival is seen as a positive step in ensuring the survival of Nubian giraffes through continued breeding and conservation work.
