To all the participants of the Great Grevy's Rally 2018...
Thank You!
The second national census of the endangered Grevy's zebra and the threatened reticulated giraffe was a huge success! Download the full report HERE.
The 2018 Rally is over but the counting has just begun! Our scientist have over 100,000 photographs collected by over 170 teams across the entire region. Results will take a few month to complete. We expect preliminary results by May 2018 and the official results will be launched at the Great Grevy's Ball in June 2018.
In the late 1970's there were an estimated 15,000 Grevy's zebra in the wild. Today fewer than 2,500 remain. The Grevy's zebra has suffered one of the most drastic population declines of any African mammal, due to climate change, habitat loss and competition with livestock. The Great Grevy's Rally is a census of the population, which will aid Grevy's Zebra Trust and their conservation partners to safeguard the future of the Grevy's zebra.
