Save Vietnam’s Wildlife (SVW), in collaboration with Cuc Phuong National Park, successfully returned 8 rare Javan pangolins to their natural habitat.
These pangolins had been rescued from illegal trade and transport, with some voluntarily handed over by local people. After extensive treatment and rehabilitation, the pangolins were deemed fit for reintegration into the wild.
A representative from Save Vietnam's Wildlife shared that one of the released pangolins was a pregnant female when initially received. Thanks to active rehabilitation, the center welcomed a healthy baby pangolin, who stayed with its mother from birth to ensure it gained the necessary survival instincts.
Before each release, Save Vietnam's Wildlife team conducts habitat analyses and surveys various locations to ensure suitability. Releasing wildlife into an appropriate environment not only strengthens the natural population but also contributes to regional biodiversity preservation.
The Javan pangolin (Manis javanica) is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List and categorized as Group IB in Vietnam's Redlist. Released pangolins must meet criteria for health, disease-free status, and self-defense and foraging capabilities.
This successful release highlights Save Vietnam’s Wildlife's dedication to conserving this rare and endangered species. Since its founding, the center has successfully returned over 70% of rescued wildlife to their natural habitats, contributing to wildlife conservation and biodiversity in Vietnam.
