We’re raising £15,000 for Greenfingers Wildlife Initiative (Play4Pangolin Campaign)
THE CHALLENGE
Pangolins are facing unprecedented threats due to illegal trafficking, habitat loss, and the increasing demand for scales and meat. Pangolins are now regarded as the World Most Trafficked Mammal with millions of individuals lost every year
In Nigeria, the tale is NOT so different – pangolins are being captured and killed in their numbers and make up the wild trade.
THEY ARE IMPORTANT
These unique creatures play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling insect population, yet they are on the brink of extinction
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
Over the past three years, we have initiated conservation initiatives protecting pangolins, curbing the local trade, rescuing, rehabilitating and raising awareness about the plight of the species
We have successfully rescued, nurtured and released over 40 pangolins in three years and yet, due to lack of awareness, more pangolins still fall prey to this menace
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Your support can make a significant difference. Donating to this campaign could:
• provide the crucial resources needed to successfully conduct a nation-wide campaign for pangolins.
• support pangolin conservation work within Nigeria – as we cater for pango pups within the Greenfingers Wildlife Sanctuary
• help us provide educational resources and awareness materials to raise awareness about the pangolins in Nigeria
