Advancing giraffe science through field research and innovation, generating the knowledge needed for maximizing our conservation impact in order to ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to follow in Anne's footsteps.
Funding Results:
From sunrise to sunset Simangele Myeni and Scarlett Stromer, Master’s students from the University of Kwazulu-Natal, are hard at work on their giraffe research. They
are studying the food and activities of giraffes over the next two years at three locations: the Greater Ukuwela Nature Reserve, Cumberland Reserve and Fountain Hill Estate in South Africa. We are proud to sponsor both Simangele and Scarlett and look forward to their contributions to giraffe research.

Kaitlyn Taylor received academic distinction after completing her Masters degree in Wildlife Science at the University of the Free State in South Africa. Her Masters research topic was the first study to exclusively research how human created noise affect wild giraffe behaviour. Kaitlyn’s reseach can be found here. Kaitlyn first met Anne Innis Dagg in 2019 and they stayed in touch over the years with Anne providing guidance, encouragement and support with Kaitlyn’s studies through the Anne Innis Dagg Foundation.
