Pangolins are the most illegally trafficked mammal on Earth. Our aim is to counter the wildlife trafficking of pangolins and to improve the long-term survival of the species in the wild. By disrupting organised criminal syndicates involved in the trafficking of pangolins in Africa, empowering law enforcement officials and funding demand reduction campaigns in Asia, DSWF works at all levels of the illegal wildlife crime cycle to ensure the survival of this 80-million-year-old species.
The elusive pangolin is THE most trafficked mammal in the world. With over one million pangolins illegally killed in the last decade, only immediate intervention will prevent pangolin extinction - before we've even had a chance to understand their importance to our ecosystems. Relentlessly targeted on all fronts for their parts, as well as for bush meat or being brutally killed on electric fences, human actions will result in the pangolin's extinction within a decade unless we act now.
Our ongoing pangolin conservation work continues to discourage poaching, increase prosecution levels and empower communities to not partake in the consumption of pangolin parts and their derivatives. DSWF's support also aims to stop the demand of pangolin products, help change consumer behaviour in Asia and inform people about the need to protect pangolin populations to avoid the extinction of this incredible species.
To raise vital funds supporting front line conservation projects which help secure a future for wildlife in their natural habitat. We fight environmental and wildlife crime through ranger programmes and law enforcement. We engage with communities to educate and raise awareness to reduce threats to wildlife. We campaign for stronger wildlife laws and to reduce consumer demand for wildlife products. Through dedication and hard work we have influenced policy, shifted attitudes and provided an unwavering voice for wildlife conservation from grass roots to the world stage for over 30 years. We work hard to maximise the impact of every donation we receive and to date have invested over £9.5m in wildlife conservation projects.
