World Giraffe Day is celebrated on June 21 every year. The holiday was established by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation (G.C.F.) as a way to celebrate the tallest animal in the world. World Giraffe Day takes place during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. Alongside celebrating giraffes, the G.C.F. uses the day to raise funds for the conservation of the wild giraffe population across the world and to raise awareness about the challenges these animals face. Institutions around the globe organize events on World Giraffe Day to properly celebrate the holiday.
