As part of the Remembering Wildlife podcast series and for the 10th anniversary book, this episode shines a light on the most trafficked mammal in the world: the pangolin.
In this episode, host Amy Turner speaks first with Lisa Hywood, founder of the Tikki Hywood Foundation in Zimbabwe, whose decades of groundbreaking work in rescue, rehabilitation, and release has shaped global pangolin conservation.
Then we hear from Dr. Claire Okell, founder and CEO of the Pangolin Project in Kenya, who is leading pioneering efforts to protect the newly rediscovered giant ground pangolin and its forest ecosystem.
Together, their stories reveal the highs, lows, and immense hope of working with one of the planet’s most secretive and endangered species - and how Remembering Wildlife is helping to give pangolins a fighting chance.
A wonderful story of hope for pangolins with those working directly on the ground to protect this incredible species - we hope you enjoy listening!
