Our first field deployment will be with the Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre – A rehabilitation centre focused on pangolins. Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world. There were a million Pangolins trafficked in the last year alone. The Temminck’s Pangolin, is the native species for South Africa, and is the one being rescued and rehabilitated to the wild Umoya Khulula and Francois Meyer, a leading Pangolin conservationist.  

To help preserve the ever declining population of this very endangered spices, Umoya Khulula work with local authorities and anti-poaching organisations to support the rehabilitation of Pangolins rescued from traffickers until they are ready for release into the wild. At which point, Francois Meyer, tracks and monitors the released pangolins to ensure health, safety and gain valuable insights into the life and behaviours of these beautiful enigmatic creatures. The aim is to enable their number to increase and provide better habitats and learning for better rehabilitation.
