Hello, my fundraiser is to celebrate World Pangolin Day on 21st February by helping Save Vietnam's Wildlife http://www.savevietnamswildlife.org/ rehabilitate rescued Sunda pangolins in Vietnam and release them back into the wild where they belong.
You don't know what a pangolin is? Well they are scaly anteaters, they look a little bit like a pine cone on legs! They are gentle, nocturnal, ant and termite eaters, they have strong claws on their front feet for digging into rotten logs to find delicious bugs and for making burrows, they are very shy and curl up into a tight ball when they are stressed or attacked. Unfortunately they are disappearing fast and are now threatened with extinction due to being poached incessantly in Africa and Asia where they live. Hundreds of thousands of them have been killed for the illegal trade in their scales for traditional medicine in Asia. The appalling fact is the scales are made from keratin which is the same substance as your nails and hair and it doesnt have any medicinal properties. We dont have any pangolins in Scotland but I really love these amazing little animals and want to do something to help them so if I raise my goal it will mean that the amazing rescue and rehab organisation SVW can use the money to rehabilitate and release some of the rescued pangolins they currently have at their centre in Cuc Phong. They can buy red lights to monitor them without disturbance during their recovery, support health checks for pangolins ready for release, or the money raised can even go towards buying new transmitters to monitor them when they are released.
These are all great reasons to donate to this campaign but as a thank you for every donation made, no matter how big or small, there will be a chance to win a 60cm x 40cm print of a Sunda pangolin, posted to you wherever you are! So please (a) donate to this fundraiser and help pangolins on World Pangolin Day, and (b) if you wish to be entered into the draw for the print leave your name and donation amount by private message on Pangorarium's https://www.facebook.com/Pangorarium?ref=hl Facebook page. Together let's help some pangolins! The draw for the print will be announced on World Pangolin Day 21st February 2015. Thank you!
