Pangolins curl into a ball when threatened. It protects them from predators, but leaves them defenceless against traffickers. More than 553,000 pangolins were involved in seizures between 2016 and 2024. Making them the world's most trafficked mammal. Animals rescued from the illegal wildlife trade are often injured, malnourished and traumatised. Without urgent veterinary care, rehabilitation and release back into the wild, many won't survive. Every delay costs lives.
Working with our Namibian project partner, your support can provide an emergency lifeline for rescued and confiscated pangolins. Funds could enable rapid veterinary care, rehabilitation, safe release and GPS monitoring. Local San pangolin guardians help track animals to help keep them safe in the wild. Evidence from each rescue improves future rehabilitation and release, strengthening conservation across Southern Africa and giving every survivor the best chance to recover and remain wild.
