Power the Patrol: Help Us See Into the Night
Power the
Patrol
Seven tagged Pangolins. Three Pangolin Protection units. Every night in the field.
Tonight, seven endangered Giant Ground Pangolins will leave the safety of their burrows.
Our Pangolin Protection Units will be waiting. Every evening, specialist teams head into the forests of Nyekweri to follow six tagged Giant Ground Pangolins as they move through one of Kenya's most extraordinary landscapes.
They don't know where the night will lead. A pangolin may cross a previously electrified fence.
It may disappear into dense forest. It may travel kilometres through elephant habitat.
Or it may need help. Every night brings new discoveries, new risks and new opportunities to protect one of Africa's rarest mammals.
Your support helps ensure our teams are there to follow every journey.
Together, with our partners at Kenya Wildlife Service we can protect every step they take.
When you give today, you become part of every safe journey these pangolins make tomorrow.

Because of People Like You, Conservation Is Working
Every donation made to The Pangolin Project has helped turn hope into action. Today, we can measure the difference.
7 Giant Ground Pangolins monitored every night
103 Safe crossings of previously electrified fences between February and June 2026
4 Potential fence fatalities prevented by the Pangolin Protection Units
8 Additional thermal scopes needed to equip our monitoring teams
These aren't just numbers.
They are living proof that conservation works when communities, scientists, rangers and supporters come together.
Every safe crossing is another chance for a pangolin to survive.
Every night in the field brings us closer to understanding and protecting this extraordinary species.

Why Tonight Matters
A tagged pangolin doesn't know where the dangers are.
It simply follows ancient routes through forests, grasslands and farmland, searching for ants and termites under the cover of darkness.
Our teams follow too.
Using satellite tags, radio telemetry and years of field experience, they monitor each pangolin's movements throughout the night.
Sometimes everything goes to plan.
Sometimes it doesn't.
When a pangolin approaches danger, every minute matters.
Being in the right place, at the right time, can make the difference between another safe journey and another conservation tragedy.
That is why your support matters

Help Us See What Happens in the Dark
A tracking signal tells us where a pangolin is.
A thermal scope tells us what that pangolin is doing.
Is it feeding? Is it injured? Has it crossed safely? Is another pangolin nearby? Is it behaving normally?
The answers to these questions are helping us build one of the most detailed understandings of Giant Ground Pangolins anywhere in Africa.
At the moment, our Pangolin Protection Units don't have enough thermal scopes for every member of the team.
We need eight more.
With your help, every ranger monitoring pangolins at night can safely observe their behaviour, identify threats sooner and respond when an animal needs protection.
You won't simply be funding equipment.
You'll be helping us understand and safeguard one of the world's most threatened mammals.
More than a patrol
We still have so much to learn.
Every night reveals new behaviour.
New movement patterns.
New challenges.
New hope.
The decisions we make today could influence how Giant Ground Pangolins are protected for decades to come.
Your generosity makes that possible.
Tonight, six Giant Ground Pangolins will leave the safety of their burrows.
Our teams will be there.
With your support, they'll have the tools they need to follow, understand and protect them.
