A Rothschild subspecies of Giraffe browse on ol-Kokwe Island on Lake Baringo where it now faces a threat from the rising waters of the lake that have already forced an evacuation of smaller species of wildlife like antelopes and warthog off the island due to habitat loss, near Marigat, Baringo county on the Kenyan Rift Valley, on October 5, 2020. Great lakes of Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, some by several metres or more this year alone, following months of extreme rainfall scientists have linked to a changing climate. These tremendous bodies of water have ebbed and flowed through the ages, supporting life along the banks, but records show this latest surge is unlike any witnessed in recent memory.
