CHARITYĀ INFO ...
50% of the purchase price of our pangolin charity bracelet is donated to Pangolin Preservation!
Pangolin PreservationĀ cares for and rehabilitates pangolins rescued from the illegal poaching trade ā to release them back into the wild.
Pangolins are the worldās most illegally trafficked animal ā poached for both traditional African medicines, known as muthi, as well as rapidly escalating demand by Asian markets for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Pangolin scales and rhino horn are both made of keratin - the same as human toenails.
South Africa is home to the little-known Temminckās Ground Pangolin. Sadly more and more of these are being confiscated by SAPS (South African Police Services) and anti-poaching units, having being held illegally in captivity.
When they are seized from poachers, they are severely compromised ā very stressed, badly malnourished and dehydrated. The rescued pangolin require round the clock, 24/7 medical care and support. The pangolin are fed with a supplementary protein feed, via a feeding tube, to try and improve their nutrition.
At night, if well enough, the pangolin are āwalkedā in the bush for them to find their own food supply of ants, to encourage natural feeding behaviours and dietary intake as soon as possible. Walking in the bush can take many hours every night.
When the pangolins are well enough and weigh more than 6kgs, they are released back into the wild on a designated secure reserve, ideally near to where they were seized. Each pangolin is fitted with a tracker, so their well-being and movements can be monitored remotely.
