  • Asiwa, a Rothschild's (Nubian) giraffe who has become stranded on Longicharo Island, a rocky lava pinnacle, inside Lake Baringo in western Kenya, is moved off the flooded island by a barge December 2, 2020.  Rising lake levels have cut the peninsula into an island, trapping 8 giraffes. The local community is working with conservation organizations to keep them alive. She was moved on the barge for 1.1. miles to the 4,400-acre fences sanctuary within the 44,000 acre Ruko Conservancy.  Asiwa was isolated on a far part of the island. Today, fewer than 3,000 Rothschild's giraffes are left in Africa, with about 800 in Kenya.   (Photo by Ami Vitale)
