In order to do a good job in the selection of Chinese Pangolins' wild release locations, CBCGDF has been extensively mobilized and has hosted several expert seminars to prepare carefully.

To this end, the pangolin expert Wu Shibao suggested that the premise of releasing pangolins in the wild is that it is best to have pangolins in the area. In general, the pangolins choose to live in a cave in the sun. Therefore, it is appropriate to choose a place that faces south, has a slightly higher temperature, and is rich in water and has no interference. With food, vegetation (rich grass, shrubs, pines) these conditions are very good.

First to investigate where there are old pangolins caves. To observe the trees for signs of ants, and the termites park the trees. For example, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, there is no stone mountain with a Castel landform, and it is not possible to find pangolins under the stone mountain. There are fewer pangolins on the top of the mountain; there are possibility for pangolins’ existence on the mountainside; there are no pangolins in the flat places. Professor Wu said that only in the 1990s saw the new caves of pangolins.
