South Sudan's giraffes keep healthy gene pool despite war
Original: In war-torn South Sudan, giraffes retain a surprisingly healthy gene pool

The finding suggests viable herds persist in the region, offering hope for conservation efforts in one of Africa's most unstable countries.
Why now: New research offers rare good conservation news from a conflict zone, which is unusual and encouraging.
