Pangolin Conservation and Research Foundation

This year, we have faced unprecedented challenges in our mission to protect pangolins.

But amidst these challenges, there is hope—and her name is Hope.

Why Your Support Matters:

Hope is one of nine pangolins rescued this year with PCRF’s assistance, six of whom have undergone rehabilitation. At just a year old, she came to us weak, scared, and dangerously underweight. After months of round-the-clock care, she’s grown stronger every day. However, the severe drought continues to limit food availability, making it unsafe for her to survive on her own just yet.

Hope’s journey is a powerful reminder of what your support can make possible.

$50 provides one day of rehabilitative care, including supplemental feeding and daily foraging opportunities.

$100 fuels daily foraging trips and monitoring for pangolins in rehabilitation.

$250 supports one veterinary visit, covering a full exam, diagnostics, and any necessary intensive care.

$750 helps cover the team's salaries contributing towards intensive rehabilitation of animals in our care.

$1,000 helps cover the tags for post-release monitoring of one animal to ensure the release is successful or intervene if necessary.

$2,500 contributes significantly to services and repairs or towards a new field vehicle, ensuring we can reach pangolins in need and monitor their releases.

And thanks to a generous matching donor, every dollar you give up to $2,500 will be doubled!

Be Part of the Hope:

This Giving Tuesday, your gift can provide pangolins like Hope the care they need to survive and thrive. Hope represents the resilience of every pangolin we rescue—fragile at first, but with the right care, strong and ready to return to the wild when the time is right.

Dear Pangolin Friends,

We need your help! After 2 years of living out of a car, we have been planning the launch of our field base camp for the Nyae Nyae Pangolin Project in July. Our goal is to establish a long-term resident pangolin research center accepting local and international students with a special focus on community support. This move will allow us to expand our protection of pangolins through the pangolin ranger program and tag more free-roaming pangolins to better understand their ecology. We are so thankful for the very generous support of donors who contributed towards a storage container that has been outfitted with solar power, office furniture, an attached outdoor bathroom, and water tank.

We were hoping to already be sharing the inauguration with you, but unfortunately have run into some unforeseen circumstances and had to move the site location at the last minute. And by last minute, we literally mean the very last minute. The storage container is scheduled to be delivered from Namibia’s capital (Windhoek) to our remote location in just 2 weeks, and cannot be delayed.

The original location had basic infrastructure, but the new one does not. In the next 2 weeks, we have to set the foundations, clear roads, and dig a pipeline over 1 mile / 2 km long. An enormous task.

We hate to ask for help, but we urgently need your support to accomplish this. We need to raise $10,000 USD to:

Additionally, this will provide running water to the community campsite - something that will increase the benefit to the community and tourists alike who stay there.

As a special thanks to those of you who donate $25 or more, your name will be put on the storage container. In this way, you will forever be part of this critical milestone in our history. In addition, we have outlined the following levels of support and corresponding tokens of appreciation:
