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 Marimba 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.

Rolly sadly cannot be released back into the wild because of the loss of a limb, so climbing and hunting for food will be difficult. Sunny lost a hind leg so she also needs to stay at the centre, where she is an Education Ambassador for the centre. Adopt Rolly or Sunny here.
