The amazing okapi

 Deep in the heart of  the Ituri Forest,the elusive okapi roams beneath the canopy,perfectly adapted to its lush rainforest home.The okapi is nicknamed ``the forest giraffe.``This forest giraffe plays a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem by consuming and dispersing seeds throughout its habitat.

                           Forests like the Ituri are irreplaceable,providing oxygen,storing carbon,and sheltering countless species.But deforestation and habitat loss threaten their future.Protecting okapi means protecting forests-and the countless life forms that depend on them.
