Our Projects
Rare pangolins at risk
The Foundation supported the Pangolin Rescue Center in Uganda with a complete solar panel system for constant power, laptops, a tracking phone, a motorcycle, uniforms and much more. In addition, in partnership with Bresser, we donated wildlife cameras and head lamps, which enable the monitoring of pangolins after their release.
About Pangolin rescue center Uganda
Rescuing and protecting Pangolins
The Pangolin Rescue Center in Uganda is a shelter dedicated to rescuing and protecting pangolins (pangolins) in Uganda and eastern Congo. Pangolins are often victims of illegal hunting and trading, which puts them at serious risk. The center provides shelter for pangolins that have been injured or illegally trapped, and provides them with medical care and rehabilitation. The goal of the Pangolin Rescue Center is to restore these animals to health and return them to their natural habitat in well-protected natural areas as soon as possible.
Much more than just shelter
Major Programs and Initiatives
- Rehabilitation of Pangolins: The center focuses on rehabilitating pangolins in both Uganda and eastern Congo, two areas where these animals are severely threatened by poaching.
- Prevention of illegal poaching: The Pangolin Rescue Center works directly with poaching groups to support them in switching to alternative forms of income, such as fish ponds, pig farming and vegetable growing.
- Cooperation government authorities: The center works closely with local governments to improve protection measures and strengthen enforcement of existing guidelines.
- Education and Awareness: An important aspect of the Pangolin Rescue Center's work is education. The center focuses on educating local communities, schools and visitors about the importance of pangolin protection and conservation.
