Join the pangolin rescue mission
Help pangolins nowTime is running out for pangolins. Help stop poachers and save pangolins before it’s too late.
Every year, thousands of pangolins are stolen from the wild, smuggled across Asia, and sold into the brutal illegal wildlife trade. Shy and gentle by nature, they are smoked out of their burrows, trapped in sacks, and left terrified and alone. But there is hope.
Working with our partners at Jakarta Animal Aid Network (JAAN), we’re fighting back by tracking poachers, rescuing pangolins, and giving them a second chance at life.
You could help power a mission that works in three crucial stages:
INVESTIGATE : Track the poachers before it’s too late.
Behind every successful rescue is weeks of undercover work. JAAN’s investigators infiltrate wildlife trafficking networks, posing as buyers to gather intelligence that leads to arrests and rescues.
£10 could help fund intelligence gathering missions that expose poachers and smuggling routes.
RESCUE: Find and save pangolins in time.
At Sumatra’s busy ports, every minute matters. Hidden in boxes and sacks, pangolins are often discovered weak, dehydrated and traumatised.
The K9 Wildlife Detection Unit (led by Bailey, Indonesia’s first wildlife sniffer dog) works alongside JAAN’s rescue teams to locate trafficked animals and bring them to safety.
£20 could help keep dogs like Bailey on patrol and provide the emergency care rescued pangolins need to survive.
RELEASE: Give pangolins a second chance in the wild.
When strong enough, some rescued pangolins can be transported to remote release sites chosen to keep them safe from poachers. Working with Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, JAAN’s biologists carefully monitor each release to help ensure the animals’ safety.
£30 could help transport and release a rehabilitated pangolin into the wild.
