‼️ALL PANGOLINS ARE HOUSED AND TREATED OFF-SITE AT UNDISCLOSED SECURE LOCATIONS FOR THEIR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OUR TEAMS

Another heartbreaking story has unfolded. This is Rooger, a baby Temminck's Pangolin.

Rooger’s mother was captured for the illegal wildlife trade while heavily pregnant. The immense stress of captivity caused her to go into labor, and she gave birth while being held by poachers.

She endured over 13 days without food or water, sacrificing everything she had to protect and nourish little Roo. Thankfully, we were able to rescue them thanks to the support from our monthly Patreon contributors, which covered the sting operation costs to bring them to safety. However, the toll on her body was severe—her organs had begun to fail. Despite our team's best efforts, we couldn’t save her. Since she wasn’t lactating, we had to separate Roo to give him a fighting chance.

Dr. Debbie English from Provet Animal Hospital worked tirelessly to stabilize Roo, helping him to drink and regain his health. Once he was ready, he was transferred to the rehabilitation center. Though Roo has faced a tragic start to life and has a long journey ahead, we are dedicated to providing him with everything he needs to eventually return to the wild—both for his future and in memory of his courageous mother.

Our mission to protect these incredible creatures relies entirely on the generosity of individuals like you. We can't thank our monthly Patreons members for your on going support.

If you’d like to be part of this life-saving mission and help protect wildlife in need, consider joining our Patreon community. Starting at just $3, you can make a real difference and be a part of the change!
