Update: the most-trafficked animal in the world
Update from our partners at Zambezi Delta Conservation and Anti-Poaching regarding some pangolins --- the most trafficked animal in the world.
"Yesterday, two pangolins were confiscated from poachers from two locations further north and west of the Delta. We arranged for a helicopter pick up outside of a town with the Mozambique Wildlife Alliance team, but bad weather and light conditions caught us. We rescheduled with them for this morning and we now have them in camp.
It looks like a male and female and both seem very strong. We are taking them out or their first walk this evening and if they are strong enough, we will release them tomorrow. Fortunately, we have two tracking tags left in camp, which we can deploy on them to monitor after release." - Willem Daniel Briers-Louw
Another conservation success story coming out of Coutada 11 that has us feeling proud of the work being done there and hopeful for the future!
