Imagine a world with no more animals： no elephants， no tigers or lions． To some people， that thought is too terrible for words． So they are doing something about it． Tiffany Soechting is one of them．
Being among wild animals﹣feeding them and caring for them﹣is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do with her life． And that is exactly what she does!
Soechting is the human "mother" to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio， Texas． On the farm， she cares for animals from around the world． Soechting says she loves them all． However， two reticulated giraffes（网纹长颈鹿） take up a special place in her heart． Their population in the wild has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years． "I'm so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level． All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild．"
Besides her animal caring， Soechting also holds monthly classes， where she teaches school children about the animals．
Soechting also opens the farm to the public． Visitors not only learn about the animals， they can also get close to them． And the animals are not against that． For them， people are part of their natural environment．
The farm is part conservation（保护） area， part educational center and part animal park． As the animals walk peacefully around the grounds， it is easy for them to forget that San Antonio， a busy city， is just a few minutes away．
