Back from the Brink: How the Giant Ground Pangolin is Catalysing Forest Recovery

Join us for the very first Pangolin Power Hour, a live online event bringing you straight into the heart of Nyekweri Forest - home to Kenya’s last remaining Giant Ground Pangolins.

10.12.25 18:00 GMT | 21:00 EAT | 13:00 EST | 10:00 PST

In this 75-minute interactive session, you’ll hear directly from our field team, discover the stories behind the latest pangolin sightings, explore new conservation wins, and learn how community-led action is driving forest recovery across one of the Mara’s most biodiverse landscapes.

You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and hear a special keynote talk from wildlife photographer and TPP friend, Will Burrard Lucas - known globally for his pioneering BeetleCam images and long-term conservation storytelling.

Replay available for all registered attendees.

Guests

Will Burrard Lucas is a British wildlife photographer, author and entrepreneur. He is the creator of BeetleCam, a remote-control camera buggy, and founder of Camtraptions Ltd, a company specializing in high-quality equipment for camera trap photography and filmmaking. He dedicates much of his time to working on long-term book projects in Africa.

Dr. Claire Okell is a veterinarian and researcher whose career has taken her across some of East Africa’s most challenging landscapes. In 2020, moved by the plight of one of the world’s least understood mammals, she founded The Pangolin Project to shine a light on Kenya’s Giant Ground Pangolins.

Beryl Makori joined soon after, bringing her passion for research and conservation leadership. Together, under their guidance, The Pangolin Project has grown from a small idea into a dedicated team of over 40 people working to protect pangolins and the fragile ecosystems they call home.

Why this matters

This has been a transformative year in Nyekweri. We have seen landowners step forward to protect forest, rangers expand their patrol routes, and pangolins continue to appear in places that were once too dangerous for them to survive. These moments - big and small — are the early signs of recovery.

And they are only possible because you choose to stand with us.

We hope you’ll join us for this powerful shared moment.

With gratitude,

The Pangolin Project Team
