Kenya hotel bringing giraffes back from the brink

A dramatic drop in the number of giraffes in Africa has led to fears the animal could become extinct. It is thought fewer than 100,000 roam the continent's game reserves and one of the most endangered is the Rothschild Giraffe. But one Kenyan tourist attraction is helping boost numbers, while offering visitors the chance to get up close and personal with the world's tallest mammal. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Vivienne Nunis reports from Nairobi.
