Pangolin Rescued and Receiving Lifesaving Care
Story 1
Law enforcement, Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital, and Fourways Veterinary Hospital, with help from Airlink and Impact for Wildlife, rescued a young pangolin named Pikkewyn and gave her a fighting chance.
She was found during a routine roadblock outside Beaufort West and taken into care by CapeNature before being flown to Johannesburg for specialist treatment.
At Fourways Veterinary Hospital, Pikkewyn underwent a CT scan to assess her injuries. Veterinarians hope she can recover fully and one day return safely to the wild.
Pangolins play a vital role in South Africa’s ecosystems.

An ice-cream vendor in Cape Town decided to give away his entire stock for free after receiving a R10,000 donation from BigManKG. Keegan, known for his acts of generosity, approached the vendor while he was serving customers and handed over the cash.
