Members of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) pull ropes as they try to control the movement of a giraffe that has been tranquillized and blindfolded during a translocation exercise for wild giraffes in a farm near Eldoret, on June 24, 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)
