🧡Giving Tuesday 🧡

Our team works tirelessly to care for these unique, endangered creatures, providing them with veterinary treatment, safe habitats, and the chance to heal. From the moment they're rescued to their eventual release, your donations make it all possible.

🐾 Meet some of the pangolins already helped by the fund:
Moya: Rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, Moya received urgent veterinary care and is thriving in a safe environment, preparing for her return to the wild.
Renzo: Also rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, Renzo was found emaciated and traumatized. Thanks to your support, he's now wild and free in his new habitat.

How your donations will help:
Fund urgent medical care for rescued pangolins.
Support rehabilitation and release programs to give pangolins a second chance at life.
Enable our team to continue searching for and removing snares in critical habitats.

🌿 Nature’s Pest Controllers 🐜

Did you know? Pangolins play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems by acting as natural pest controllers! A single pangolin can consume up to 70 million insects per year, primarily ants and termites. With their long, sticky tongues—as long as their bodies—they’re perfectly adapted to reach deep into ant nests and feast on their favourite snacks.

By keeping ant and termite populations in check, pangolins prevent these insects from overrunning their habitats, which could otherwise damage vegetation and disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

Protecting pangolins means protecting their vital role in nature.

Did you know? Pangolins are perfectly adapted to their favourite snack!

To protect themselves from their food biting back, pangolins have thick eyelids and the unique ability to close their ears and nostrils tightly. This keeps them safe from ant bites as they dig into mounds and slurp up the insects with their long, sticky tongues.
