An initiative designed to save one of the world’s most trafficked species: the African pangolin (Smutsia temminckii). Implemented in Chimanimani National Park, Manica Province, this project includes the construction of a sanctuary and rehabilitation center for pangolins rescued from illegal traffickers, where they will receive specialized veterinary care. The project also involves training rangers in pangolin-specific first aid, ensuring rapid response capacity in rescue cases. In addition, a post-release monitoring program using GPS and VHF telemetry technologies will be implemented to study pangolin movements and behavior after reintroduction into the wild. With a one-year duration, this initiative strengthens the fight against trafficking and ensures the protection of this critically endangered species.
