LITERARY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION OF Giraffa sp.
Abstract
Biodiversity is vulnerable by anthropogenic action in the ecosystem, so organs perform population studies that characterize the conservation status of species in order to delay their extinction. Since IUCN is one of these institutions, it cites Giraffa camelorpadalis as vulnerable. The decline of this population occurs for several factors, so animal welfare can prolong the life of these species in captivity, as well as conservation actions. For this purpose, a bibliographic search was performed using database search tools through key words. Alerts on the disappearance of species and habitats were emitted as a consequence mainly by anthropic action causing extinction on biodiversity. Studies using giraffes are little found, due to the difficulty found by researchers, due to the size of the animal, in this way the study techniques should be improved, as well as the maintenance of these animals in captivity. The difficulty also in captivity is due to the stereotyped behavior of these animals, so that observation is a way to identify these behavior and create, therefore, captive enrichment actions in an attempt to create a welfare of these animals. Could be concluded that further studies should be performed with the rotated either in nature, despite the difficulties, either in captivity in an attempt to increase the reproduction of this species or remove this animal from the list of endangered species, enrichment activities of captivity are carried out in zoos bringing an animal welfare and consequently the perpetuation of this species.
