Giraffe Week is just around the corner and we couldn’t be more excited!! In preparation for World Giraffe Week (June 20-24th, 2022), we have a great get together in store for you!  

We are very pleased to welcome Amy Phelps, Vice President of Animal Care at the San Francisco Zoo. She has more than 25 years of experience working with giraffes! Amy holds a special place in Anne’s heart as she was instrumental in bringing Anne back into the giraffe and conservation community and spearheading the award recognition Anne received in 2010. We are looking forward to learning about her career and asking her all about…giraffes!

We’ll also chat with Justin Mouledous, a student at the University of Oregon, about his studies and his LOVE of giraffes!

Don’t forget! Submissions to the World Giraffe Week drawing contest at Save the Giraffes must be sent in by May 31st, 2022. Winning submissions will be included as part of World Giraffe Week celebrations.

And, for those who live in the Toronto (Ontario, Canada) area, please join Dr. Anne Innis Dagg, her daughter Mary and other JGC members on Sunday June 19th, at the Toronto Zoo’s giraffe enclosure to kick off the upcoming World Giraffe Week!
