Have you heard that giraffes are becoming silently endangered? Whether or not, watch the Not a Tall Tale to find out why and what you can do to help prevent this.
‘Not a Tall Tale’ is a documentary aiming to highlight issues of the conservation state of giraffes, species silently vanishing from our planet. The film is done in a reality-TV style in hope to captivate the attention of audiences not typically interested in purely environmental matters. It showcases images of giraffes from Schotia Private Game Reserve in South Africa with a commentary from one of the reserve’s rangers, Kurt von Maltitz, as well as a discussion with the conservationist Osiris Doumbe about his work with ‘critically endangered’ Kordofan giraffes in Cameroon and Bristol’s local conservation initiative – Wild Place Project.

‘The conservation status of seven of the currently IUCN-recognised nine giraffe subspecies has been assessed –five of these subspecies for the first time ever. For many, it comes as a shock that three of the giraffe subspecies are now listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ (Kordofan and Nubian giraffe) and ‘Endangered’ (Reticulated giraffe), while others range from ‘Vulnerable’ (Thornicroft’s and West African giraffe) to ‘Near Threatened’ (Rothschild’s giraffe). Only Angolan giraffe – with their stronghold in Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe – seem to be out of trouble and are listed as ‘Least Concern’. Only the South African and Masai giraffe are yet to be assessed. While South African giraffe appear to be doing well, Masai giraffe have plummeted and will most likely be placed within one of the threatened categories of the IUCN Red List.’

A couple of videos I made for Dan from The Fish Shop in Bristol to promote his fresh fish delivery service. We visited his supplier at Houghton Springs in Dorset on a sunny day to talk about why their trout has so much Omega 3 and what’s the best recipe to cook the arctic char.
