We also propose to list the reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata) and the Masai giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi), both from east Africa, as threatened species with protective regulations issued under section 4(d) of the Act (\"4(d) rule\"). After a thorough review of the best scientific and commercial data available, we find that, based on the Act's section 4(a)(1) factors, it is not warranted at this time to list either subspecies of the southern giraffe (Giraffa giraffa)--the Angolan giraffe (Giraffa giraffa angolensis) and the South African giraffe (Giraffa giraffa giraffa)--but we are proposing, under the authority of section 4(e) of the Act, to treat both of these subspecies as threatened species based on their similarity of appearance to the West African giraffe, Kordofan giraffe, Nubian giraffe, reticulated giraffe, and Masai giraffe. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add all giraffes to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, under the authority of either section 4(a)(1) or 4(e) of the Act, and extend the Act's protections to these taxa.","document_number":"2024-26395","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/21/2024-26395/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-listing-the-giraffe","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-11-21/pdf/2024-26395.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-26395.pdf?1732110315","publication_date":"2024-11-21","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"excerpts":"percent of Nubian giraffes occur at Murchison Falls National Park in <span class=\"match\">Uganda</span>, a 3,840-km\n 2 \n park managed by the <span class=\"match\">Uganda</span> Wildlife Authority.
