Dead giraffes in Kenya show effects of a year-long drought
A photo of six dead giraffes in Kenya highlights the devastating impact of a prolonged, harsh drought.
The images show six dead giraffes, their emaciated bodies intertwined, at the Sabuli Wildlife Conservancy in Northeastern Kenya. Thet died due to malnutrition caused by a lack of vegetative growth and water due to the drought.
According to the photographer, photojournalist Ed Ram, the giraffes were trying to reach a nearby reservoir desperate for water — but it had dried up.
The drought since December 2020, has killed off crops, wild animals, and livestock. An estimated 2.4 million Kenyans are unable to access food as a result.
