Launch of Pangolin Monitoring Project at Kyambura Gorge Lodge

Kyambura Pangolin Monitoring Project - Support needed: $5,000

In March 2024, a camera trap near Kyambura Gorge Lodge captured remarkable footage of a giant pangolin - the first recorded sighting of this species in the Kyambura Gorge to our knowledge!

Volcanoes Safaris Partnership Trust is now aiming to establish the first-ever census of pangolins in Kyambura Gorge and Queen Elizabeth National Park.

The Kyambura Pangolin Monitoring Project will engage local communities and use camera trap data to record pangolin activity. The project will support the development of a science-based wildlife conservation and monitoring program of this critically endangered species.

We are reaching out to request your support for the launch of this vital project.

$200 will provide one camera trap to record data for the census.

$1000 will support the pangolin researcher’s field expenses and transport during the 3-month census.

$5000 will fully cover the cost of the 3-month pangolin census in Kyambura Gorge and Queen Elizabeth National Park.
