His name was Igor. For 49 years, he wandered the plains and woodlands in East Africa, so relaxed that he allowed me to come this close to take his portrait. Two years later, in October 2009, he was killed by poachers for his ivory.

MonochromeMonday shout out from our friends at @biglifeafrica and #wildographer @Jerry.goss with this fabulous shot of SKYSCRAPERS OF THE AFRICAN SAVANNA. Giraffes might only have received a cameo role in the Lion King, but the film, and more importantly Africa’s wild spaces, would be incomplete without them. These gentle giants are icons of the African bush but sadly their future on the continent is anything but certain. Habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and poaching for bush-meat have all contributed to an estimated 40% decline in their numbers over the past three decades. There are now thought to be approximately 100,000 giraffes left in Africa, which means that there are about four times as many elephants alive as there are giraffes. Despite isolated incidents of poaching the giraffe population of Amboseli is comparatively safe, much of this thanks to the Big Life rangers who spend their days protecting these creatures just as diligently as they do elephants and lions. So as you go about your day please spare giraffes, and the people keeping them safe. #Wildography #AfricanSafaris #giraffe #giraffeconservation #biglifefoundation #blackandwhite #wildlifephotography #jeremygoss https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcx-exAbkE/?igshid=1vplx6v8cynaw

I’m always surprised when I see their long lashes, beautiful #trunkupwines @biglifeafrica ・・・ Imagine if we could speak to an elephant. The things they have seen. The stories they would tell. An African elephant can live up to 60-70 years in wild, but growing threats from poaching, habitat loss and human-elephant conflict often means their lives are cut short. Big Life does everything we can to stop this tragic cycle in the Greater Amboseli Ecosystem.

We love Tim and this gorgeous photo! #trunkupwines ・・・ The Amboseli ecosystem is a natural treasure, for both current and future generations. Pictured here is Tim, one of its most iconic inhabitants that Big Life is working to protect. #elephant #Tim #kilimanjaro #biglifefoundation #amboseli

Your work is life changing for Elephants. #trunkupwines is so thankful and proud of your service and dedication. ❤️#bekindtoelephants #Repost @biglifeafrica with @get_repost ・・・ Since the start of 2017, Big Life rangers have worked with the @dswt and @kenyawildlifeservice vet unit to treat 17 elephants for injuries in the Amboseli ecosystem. Most of these injuries were unfortunately inflicted by humans, including the 3 wounds on this bull named Tolstoy. #rangers #biglifefoundation #dswt #kws #humanelephantconflict #amboseli #kenya
