In 1956, a groundbreaking biologist named Anne Innis Dagg embarked on a journey to study giraffes in South Africa. At just 23 years old, Dagg faced numerous obstacles as a female scientist, but her passion for animal research propelled her forward.
Now, Bud Werner Library is offering the chance to stream the award-winning documentary “The Woman Who Loves Giraffes” for free with your library card. The film can be accessed until May 22 at steamboatlibrary.org/events/giraffes. This documentary follows Dagg’s fascinating story and her struggles as she retraces her steps from her early adventures.
Dagg’s work came before Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees and Dian Fossey’s research with mountain gorillas, making her an early pioneer in the field of animal research. Unfortunately, Anne Innis Dagg passed away in April at the age of 91, leaving behind a legacy of groundbreaking work that continues to inspire researchers today.
The documentary provides a firsthand look at the current challenges faced by giraffes, offering viewers insight into the reality of their endangered status today. It serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the need to protect these magnificent animals for future generations to come.
