People gather to caress a baby giraffe roaming at the community celebrations to honour the arrival of several wild giraffes as part of a wildlife translocation exercise in Ruko Conservancy, on July 7, 2024. In western Kenya, wild giraffes are being relocated to the Ruko Conservancy to keep fostering peace between the historically clashing Pokot and Ilchamus communities. Since the first giraffes' arrival to the reserve in 2011, poaching has ceased, and community relations have improved, creating jobs and regional stability. Before the giraffes arrival, an intercommunal welcoming ceremony with dancing and singing is held for them, an inconceivable scene in the mid-2000s. (Photo by Luis Tato/AFP Photo)
