Our books and posters and hands-on activities make it fun to learn about giraffes, elephants, and rhinos - which is particularly important in the schools surrounding Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks where these animals live. The activities use the charismatic mega-herbivores to teach broader subjects as well, like mathematics, ecology, and language.

Our hope is these kids will become Tanzanian giraffe, elephant, and rhino heroes in their communities, and help protect these magnificent animals and the habitats they need to survive.

People often ask us what they can do to help save giraffes. Donating money and raising awareness are some of the most important actions you can take – which makes the students from Charles H. Hulse Public School true giraffe heroes. Thank you for standing tall for giraffes!

In addition to the ivory poaching crisis, elephants are often killed due to conflicts with farmers. The story explains why elephants raid crop fields, and provides solutions such as chili pepper fences and land planning to keep space for elephants to move.

Our Elephant Neighbours is the second in our series of books about Africa's Giants giraffes, elephants, and rhinos. These books teach about wildlife ecology, social behavior, and conservation through captivating images and engaging stories, and inspire the next generation to protect these magnificent megaherbivores for the health of their environment and economy.

Wild Nature Institute makes our posters and activity guides free to download and print, and our storybooks can be viewed in English and Swahili as videobooks. Our goal is for children in Africa, the USA, and around the world to be inspired by charismatic mega-herbivores rhinos, giraffe, and elephants, and to love and protect wild nature wherever they live.

Thank you to our Celebrating Africa's Giants partners PAMS Foundation, our funders at USAID, The Living Desert, Sac Zoo, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Tulsa Zoo, Tierpark Berlin, and the Pollinator Project, and our design and production team, for helping us make these beautiful educational materials and get them into the hands and hearts of children around the world.

We are thrilled that children in Tanzania participated in the day, whose theme was "Forests and Education."

At the end of the day, we donated soccer balls so additional fun could be had.
This school is located in giraffe habitat in the Tarangire-Manyara region, so this activity will benefit both people and giraffes! We plan to do more tree restoration projects and inspire children to care for their forests, for giraffes, elephants, birds, people, and the planet!
