Give a gift that protects the wild. 🤎

Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal on Earth — and they need our help.

When you symbolically adopt a pangolin, you directly support the protection, research, rehabilitation, and rewilding of real pangolins in Africa.

Pangolin Conservation and Research Foundation (PCRF) is the only pangolin-focused nonprofit in Namibia, and dedicated entirely to keeping pangolins in the wild. Every adoption helps us respond when pangolins are rescued from the illegal wildlife trade, care for them through intensive rehabilitation, and safely return them to their natural habitat.

What your adoption supports

Rescue & Rehabilitation
Emergency response, medical care, specialized nutrition, and protected rehabilitation for pangolins rescued from trafficking and conflict.
Rewilding & Monitoring
Carefully managed releases and long-term monitoring to ensure pangolins survive and thrive back in the wild.
Critical Research & Protection
Groundbreaking field research that builds baseline data, identifies threats, and informs smarter, more effective conservation strategies to stop trafficking at its source.

Thanks to this integrated approach, post-release survival rates for rehabilitated pangolins have increased dramatically — from 40% to 90% in just a few years. To date, we have rescued 47 pangolins from the illegal wildlife trade.

Why your support matters right now

Rescues don’t happen once a year — they happen year-round.

Your adoption helps ensure that when the next pangolin needs help, we are ready — with the knowledge, infrastructure, and care required to give them a second chance at life in the wild.

Symbolically adopt a pangolin and be part of their journey back to the wild 🐾
