The Pangolin Project

The Pangolin Project is a non-profit organization in its start up phase that was founded in January 2019. It works in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, the Narok County Government, NGOs and private sector partners to provide sustainable protection to pangolins and their habitat within East Africa.

The Pangolin Project is the only one of its kind in East Africa and is working to promote pangolin awareness throughout Kenya, especially amongst anti-poaching units and actors of law enforcement. They currently have a primary research team based at Sala’s Camp, carrying out field work and community programmes in the Greater Mara Ecosystem. Sala’s Camp is incredibly lucky to have higher numbers of pangolin nearby than any other camp in Kenya and benefits from the knowledge of their resident Pangolin Project experts.
