The Rothschild's giraffes are one of the most endangered distinct populations of giraffes. A 2016 genetic study suggested counting them as Nubian giraffes, which the IUCN lists as Critically Endangered. Murchison Falls National Park holds the world's largest remaining population of Nubian giraffes, with 2,000 reported in 2025. Many move between acacia savanna in the wet season and broad-leaved evergreen savanna in the dry season.
