Kouré Reserve, Nature reserve east of Niamey, Niger.
The Koure Reserve encompasses 93,480 hectares of savanna terrain where West African giraffes move freely among scattered trees and vegetation.
In 1984, the giraffe population decreased to 50 individuals, leading to the creation of the Association to Safeguard Giraffes in Niger for protection measures.
Local communities near the reserve receive resources like grain mills and fertilizer to maintain a balance between agricultural needs and giraffe conservation.
Tours through the reserve require local guides who track giraffe locations and provide transportation in specialized vehicles for wildlife observation.
The reserve contains the last population of West African giraffes in their natural habitat, with individuals reaching heights of 5.80 meters.
