Help us to safeguard a future for these endangered unique animals by adopting a pangolin
for yourself, a friend or family member today!

The pangolin is the most illegally trafficked mammal in the world. They are critically endangered. Every year, approximately 100,000 pangolins are poached from the wild to supply the illegal trade in their scales - which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat - which is considered a delicacy.

Because of this, pangolins could disappear before most of the world has even heard of them. But this doesn’t have to happen. We still have time to change this.

Animal Works have partnered with Save Vietnam’s Wildlife (SVW) to purchase:

  • A rescue vehicle for their Pangolin Rescue and Rehabilitation Programme. (Update: In December 2023 we bought the rescue vehicle. Thank you for helping to make this happen) 

  • Veterinary supplies

  • Travelling crates

  • Enclosures and bedding material

  • Food (We are working with Taronga Zoo’s nutritionist, Michelle Shaw, to create an ongoing Pangolin Food Bank. It costs $1 a day to feed a pangolin)

Between 2014 and 2022 SVW rescued 1,591 pangolins from the illegal wildlife trade. In 2021, the founder, Thai Van Nguyen, won the prestigious Goldman Environmental Award in recognition of this important work. Let’s help them carry on this vital work.

ADOPT A PANGOLIN

Your symbolic species adoption will help to provide the essential care for the pangolins at the Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre. It takes time to rehabilitate rescued pangolins to be ready for release back into the wild and many of the pangolins can never be released due to the injuries they have suffered as the victims of the illegal wildlife trade. 

Why are Animal Works running the Pangolin Adoption Programme for Save Vietnam’s Wildlife?
Animal Works are producing all the merchandise that you will receive in the pangolin adoption package. This frees up SVW to get on with looking after the pangolins. As you know, Animal Works is 100% volunteer-run so all the funds we raise for our conservation partners goes to them (minus printing and postage costs).

The perfect ‘adopt an animal’ gift for a child or adult that loves pangolins. For a one-off payment you’ll receive our awesome adoption package in the mail.

  • Your personalised animal adoption certificate

  • Biography for your adopted pangolin

  • Fun Pangolin fact sheet

  • A photo of your adopted pangolin
