The eight-week-old pup is an incredible result of an ambitious conservation project run by AndBeyond in conjunction with the African Pangolin Working Group (APWG), the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital and the Humane Society International (HSI) Africa.
Launched in mid-2019, the initiative has seen the release of a number of pangolins retrieved from poachers or illegal wildlife traffickers across South Africa in operations undertaken by the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the APWG at AndBeyond Phinda, but this is the first successful birth.
