Guide 1

What Pangolin Sponsorship Through WARN Means

Pangolin adoption through WARN is a donation with an adoption-themed acknowledgement. It does not transfer ownership of a wild animal or purchase exclusive care. Read the linked appeal for its proposed purpose and geographic scope before choosing a gift.

The suggested monthly amounts help you decide on an affordable contribution. They are not verified costs for a meal, a rescue or a release. A donor should be able to understand the recipient, activity and costs of an eventual grant from published records.

Pangolin

Pangolins are the world's most heavily trafficked wild mammals; all eight species are threatened by illegal trade in their keratin scales, used in traditional medicine across Asia, with the Chinese and Sunda pangolins now Critically Endangered.

Country programme

Indonesia

Indonesia’s forests, islands and coasts support remarkable wildlife, including all three orangutan species. Animal welfare and conservation needs differ between Kalimantan, Sumatra and the wider archipelago.

Country programme

Malaysia

Animal welfare in Malaysia spans Peninsular forests, Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo, and marine habitats. Place and species matter when assessing a conservation need or deciding who can help.
