After many communications, in mid-April, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) finally obtained approval of participating in the rescue of five pangolins in Guangdong. The CBCGDF cannot successfully participate in the rescue work without the support of the Department of Animals and Plants of the State Forestry and Grassland administration.

 

These five pangolins are all Manis pangolins. They were part of 103 living pangolins captured in the special action of "Guardian 2019" to combat the smuggling of endangered species, which was deployed by the Anti-smuggling Bureau of the General Customs Administration and directly directed by the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Guangdong Branch at the end of March this year. Another part was sent to the Guangxi Wildlife Rescue Center for emergency rescue.

 

The "pangolin girl" of the CBCGDF have always been involved in the rescue work. Although the rescue work is hard and often needs to be monitored until very late, the rescue situation and material needs should be issued in real time through the platform of the CBCGDF. And media docking and volunteer recruitment should be carried out. The rescue work of the CBCGDF also needs to be communicated with the rescue workers in Guangdong. The CBCGDF is also deeply grateful for the help and support from Taipei Zoo, pangolin Research Experts, undergraduate volunteers, and Guangdong Film and Television Enterprise.
