In the first month of 2019, we completed the biggest pangolin rescue ever seen. We received 168 pangolins out of 218 in total from that seizure on 17 Jan. We transferred 52 of them to Pu Mat rescue center and the rest of them moved to Cuc Phuong.
Moreover, we also rescued two Sunda pangolins at the Police of Nghe An province on 12 Jan and five Sunda Pangolins at the Police of Dakrong District, Quang Tri province on 26 January.
However, due to long distance transport in poor conditions while being poached, many animals were so sick and dehydrated, so about half of these animals died at rescue centers shortly after.
