#Walking high Giraffes are powerful symbols of guidance and leadership. Giraffes symbolize seeing trends and even warnings when others are oblivious. The giraffe is also a symbol for the trailblazer or pioneer. Because giraffes can see dangers before other animals can, the other animals in the savanna look to giraffes for guidance.

Giraffe's are vital to keeping ecosystems in balance. They eat the browse that others cannot reach, which promotes growth of forage and opens up areas for themselves and other smaller browsers to make use of. Importantly this means that by protecting giraffes, we are protecting other species too.
