Adopt a Pangolin
Did you know that pangolins are the most illegally trafficked mammal in the world?
They are wanted for their scales, their meat, their skin - and despite legislation, illegal trafficking of these animals continues. There are a number of charities and wildlife trusts working to help pangolins - and you can help them by adopting a pangolin, either for yourself or as a gift adoption!
You can also take a look at Pangolin Corner which has more ways of how you can help pangolins!
Adopt a pangolin and help the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (UK registered charity 1106893) save pangolins by funding crucial anti-poaching and community outreach work in Africa. You can even add a handmade pangolin toy to your adoption pack; these toys are individually made by a women's community group in Zambia; making the toys gives the women, who live close to wildlife, an alternative income.

Chanti was rescued in May 2022. A family discovered her wandering the streets of Phnom Penh with a severed back left leg. They contacted the Wildlife Alliance's Wildlife Rapid rescue Team to donate her. Chanti was taken to Phnom Tamao first, and then to the Wildlife Release Station - she's settled in well there.

ZSL are undertaking conservation work to help pangolins and an adoption will support this work in countries such as China, Vietnam and Thailand. They have lots of information about pangolins here. Adoptions are £28 for the year and you can find out about them and adopt here.
Your adoption will help the Born Free supported Sangha Pangolin Project in the Central African Republic. The project rehabilitates rescued and orphaned pangolins and returns them to the wild. From £3 a month.
Fauna and Flora International have Pangolin collection in their online shops, so that you can help raise awareness about pangolins! There are t-shirts, jumpers, hoodies, and tote bags!
