Back to the Wild:
Rare Pangolin Release After Rescue from Trafficking
Focused Conservation is proud to stand alongside the Nigeria Customs Service and the Nigeria National Park Service in a collaborative effort to safely release seized pangolins back into their natural habitat, specifically within the Cross River National Park.
The release of seized wildlife is more than a conservation success story. It is a reflection of what is possible when governments, conservation organizations, veterinarians, and frontline officers work together with a shared commitment to protecting wildlife and defending the future of these species.
