Here's why:
* Low population: There are estimated to be fewer than 2,000 Kordofan giraffes left in the wild.
* Habitat loss and degradation: Their primary habitat in Central African Republic, Chad, and Sudan is being destroyed by human activities such as agriculture, mining, and deforestation.
* Poaching and illegal hunting: Giraffes are poached for their meat, skin, and tails.
* Civil unrest and conflict: The areas where Kordofan giraffes live are often unstable and prone to conflict, which further threatens their survival.
The IUCN Red List classifies the Kordofan giraffe as Critically Endangered, meaning that it faces an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
