Principales menaces et caractéristiques des habitats aux girafes d’Afrique de l’ouest (synthèse bibliographique)

Abstract: Les girafes de l’Afrique de l’ouest (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta) vivent en petites populations isolées au Sud-est du Niger et partagent leur espace de vie avec la communauté locale. La girafe fait face à de nombreuses menaces directes et indirectes dans l’ensemble de son aire de distribution. L’objectif de cette étude est d’identifier sur le plan historique les changements et les menaces de la conservation des girafes de l’Afrique de l’ouest. Ainsi, pendant la recherche, les publications de 1970 à 2019 (Mé… Show more

“…Whilst identified as a potential site, the GBR was not initially selected as the primary location because of the historical poaching in the area and high latitude linked to the risk of long-term climate change. However, following discussions at the second National Strategy workshop, it was subsequently recommended that the first translocation and establishment of a satellite West African giraffe population should be in GBR as local conditions had become more favorable [ 67 , 68 , 69 ].…”

“…Despite GBR being a formally protected area, it allows grazing of cattle during the dry season, and although firewood cutting and collection are prohibited, this is not strictly enforced (Wacher 2010). In contrast, the GZ is an unprotected area, and the preferred vegetation type of the giraffe – tiger bush – is seemingly facing ongoing pressure from cattle grazing and firewood cutting for the local and capital city markets (Morou et al 2011, Ismael et al 2020). Such pressure has led to increased habitat degradation, resulting in reduced giraffe forage available and increased bare soil (Wu et al 2000), which directly and indirectly threaten the long-term conservation of the giraffe.…”
