The Pangolin Project

Founded in 2020, The Pangolin Project is a charity based in Kawai, Kenya working on nature & wildlife conservation, environment & climate, community development.

The Pangolin Project is a conservation charity registered in England and Wales that protects Giant Ground Pangolins and their habitat in the Nyekweri Forest on the edge of the Maasai Mara in Narok County, Kenya. Its work combines habitat protection, wildlife monitoring and anti-poaching patrols with community-led conservation. It works with local landowners through conditional forest protection agreements, removes hazardous electric fencing, and runs rescue and recovery efforts for injured wildlife. Its team monitors pangolin populations using camera traps, GPS tracking and telemetry, and it engages local households through regular meetings and workshops. The organisation aims to safeguard about 25,000 acres of habitat and restore the Megori River watershed, with the goal of benefiting both people and wildlife.
