Giraffs Without Borders was founded in 2001 by Trine fredlund. In the beginning i was an organization for the adoption of giraffes only. In 2002 the organization HTSG was established by Tanja Jakobsen. The primary goal of this company was the preservation of giraffe habitats. In 2003 there was a fusion between Giraffs Without Borders and HTSG resulting in almost unlimited resources and many new members.
