Pangolin is the highly trafficked mammal in China, which has been hunted for years and is now stigmatized for unproven Covid-19 connections.

Save Vietnam’s Wildlife in coordination with Pu Mat National Park (Nghe An province) recently rescued 15 extremely rare small-clawed otters. This is also the largest number of otters ever rescued by SVW.
