“Giraffes are affected by habitat loss and conflict, but are also found in commercial trade with hair, skins, tails, and other body parts being exported from Africa to markets in America, Europe, and elsewhere,” said Adam M. Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA. “The key with giraffes, like so many other species, is to make sure no American citizen buys any products, including tourist souvenirs, that are made from giraffe parts.”
