The conservation-focused company has also launched a Pangolin Conservation Experience for guests staying at Phinda Private Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal province.
Operator andBeyond has worked with wildlife organisations on the project to release several pangolin, who have been retrieved from poachers or illegal wildlife traffickers across South Africa.
Pangolins, a type of anteater, are widely trafficked for their scales, which are used in traditional medicine in the Far East, with more than 91,000 animals taken from the wild in 2018 alone.
