Pangolin Aware

11/05/2026

Our Director, Dr Elisa Panjang recently joined Sarawak stakeholders, organised by Sarawak Forestry Corporation in Kuching to share her experience in pangolin conservation within the Sabah context.
Protecting the Sunda pangolin is a shared mission across Borneo. By exchanging research, community strategies and conservation lessons between Sabah and Sarawak, we are building a stronger, united front for these critically endangered species.

Pangolin Care & Husbandry Workshop

For 2 days, veterinarians, rangers, animal carers & researchers gathered at Lok Kawi Wildlife Park to strengthen practical skills & collaboration for pangolin rescue, care & release.

The workshop covered:
Emergency stabilisation
Infant care & feeding
Husbandry & enclosure setup
Release preparation & monitoring
Development of care guidelines for Sabah

Co-organised with 5R Hidupan Liar with the support of LEAP & GI-TOC, we would also like to express our sincere appreciation to all participants for their contributions & facilitators, especially the veterinarian from Mandai Nature, for generously sharing expertise, practical experience & valuable insights to strengthen pangolin care in Sabah.

Every rescued pangolin deserves the best possible chance to recover, return & thrive safely in the wild.

Big things happen when we work together!

We spent an inspiring week at Hyatt Regency Kinabalu raising awareness for pangolin conservation with guests and visitors of all ages.

​A massive shoutout to Hyatt for their incredible support in championing wildlife protection in Sabah. By opening their doors to education, they are helping us grow our mission further than ever before.

​It was an honor to be alongside our friends Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (BSBCC), One Ocean Empire PLT and Wetlands Conservation Society. To everyone who visited our booths, asked questions and showed support... thank you!
​Keep the momentum going!

Last week, Pangolin Aware joined the Wildlife Defenders Forum: From the Field to the Digital Frontline, organised by UMS and WWF.
Our Director took the stage to spotlight pangolins, but here’s the reality:
While conservation happens on the ground, illegal wildlife trade is rapidly moving online.
And pangolins are right at the centre of it.
Explore the Cyber Spotter Programme by WWF; your actions online could help save pangolins.

Happy World Pangolin Day!
We invite everyone to celebrate with us by sharing pangolin stories and posts to raise awareness and help protect these amazing animals.

Recently, together with our partner Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, we organised a World Pangolin Day programme for 20 pupils from SK Kem Lok Kawi in Kota Kinabalu. They joined a pangolin talk, a quiz session, animal interpretation activities and a mini pangolin workshop to learn about pangolin science and conservation.

One highlight was the Pangolin Detective Explorace, facilitated by our Youth Education Interpreters, trained through a collaborative programme between Pangolin Aware, Seratu Aatai and Gaia. We also held colouring contests (joined by ~25 children) and interactive exhibitions with our partners Danau Girang Field Centre and 1StopBorneo Wildlife. Volunteers from Majestic Tourism and Conservation supported visitor engagement and media activities.

Thank you to all partners, volunteers, educators and students who made this programme meaningful. Happy World Pangolin Day to everyone!

Pangolin Aware was represented by our Research Coordinator, Sonitah Jastin at the Stakeholder Consultation Workshop for the 7th National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Kota Kinabalu.

This engagement is critical to ensure that pangolin conservation is not overlooked in national policy and reporting, in line with the National Policy on Biological Diversity 2022–2030 and the Sabah Biodiversity Strategy 2024–2034.

We believe that strong policies must be grounded in field realities to safeguard threatened species.

No pangolins left behind in policy.
