According to Jilin Tv, the local of Shexian County in Anhui Province rescued a pangolin, which was then released by Forestry Public Security.

A villager, Wu Xiaochun noticed a ‘black object’rolling into a ditch and brought it back home. After finding out that it’s a pangolin, Wu reported the case to the Forestry Public Security. Examined by the police, the adult pangolin was found not noticeably injured and released to the nature.

This year has seen CBCGDF’s continuous efforts into searching and counting seized pangolins. It has been the second time happened in Shenxian Country to send back pangolins to wild.

The last time, an ‘unknown animal’ was found on road side on 12th, July. In case it would not be injured by passing vehicles, Cao, the one who had found it, brought it back home and reported it to the police the next day. It was confirmed to be a pangolin with no wounds, which was still in a healthy condition for nature. Afterwards, it was thus returned to the nature by the police.

China has been a traditional habitat for pangolins since ancient times. However, recent years has witnessed rampant illegal poaching cases that gradually turned pangolins to endangered and critically endangered species and are even threatened by extinction. Given a better ecological environment and effective ecological protection measures, a good number of animals which were rarely to seen are coming into sight. We cannot but help giving a thumb-up to Shexian Forestry Public Security for what they have done to conserve nature and ecological civilization.

It is a given that Shexian County in Anhui Province represents a traditional habitat of Mains Pentadactyla. According to Shexian Forestry Bureau official website, pangolin is one of the 29 local animals that are protected at the national level. That also proves Shexian County a traditional habitat where the creatures have long been found. We hope that Anhui province will contribute more and more to the ecological civilizations.
