Hi Boka, congrats for being accepted to deliver an oral presentation at WILD12. What kind of sponsorship are you looking for exactly? The more information you can provide (e.g. what the money would go towards), the better other community members can be of help. Thank you. 

@Alexis Kriel : would you perhaps know of any funding opportunities to promote Pangolin-related work?  

Thank you also dear @Alexis Kriel for your reaction.

Thank you,@THIRZA for your attention. Of course, we need financial support to enable us to make this trip to South Dakota and secure our accommodation, so that we can present this program at the symposium. 

Thank you, @Thirza.

It is heartening to see your group driving awareness. Am I correct in understanding that you are situated in the DRC? I'm wondering what you are planning for your African Pangolin Rescue Programme - can you give some idea of what this will entail? Our organisation African Pangolin Working Group was established in 2011, as one of three organisations in the world that focused on pangolins and the threats to this species, that was seen as an emerging trend in the illegal wildlife trade. I am a member of the IUCN Pangolin Specialist Group. Alexis Kriel www.africanpangolin.org 

@Alexis Kriel , this program comprises three projects: 
firstly, a project to identify the trafficking of African pangolins: this concerns the sales market (sellers), sources of supply and the various subspecies sold, in order to inform the decision-makers who are supposed to enforce the law in this area by providing them with a detailed database;

Secondly, to raise awareness among the local population, both around the natural habitat of African pangolins and around consumption centers and sales markets. For the local population around the pangolins' natural habitat, the ecological role of pangolins will be emphasized, as well as the diversification of sources of income by proposing an ecovillage model, and for the population around the consumption centers, the CITES and Red List classifications of the pangolin will be publicized, along with all the consequences of non-observance of the binding provisions. 

Finally, the project to set up an African pangolin sanctuary for conservation, awareness-raising and research purposes already has a 15-hectare landholding on the outskirts of the city of Kinshasa, and we are in contact With Save Vietnam's Wildlife, who have proven expertise in the ex-situ conservation of pangolins.  

In addition, we have had the privilege of seeing this program selected for oral presentation at the 12th World Conservation Congress sympisium to be held August 29 and 30 in the black hills of South Dakota, for which we are seeking financial support to ensure our travel.

If you wish to contact us for a collaboration in this sense, please refer to our wildhub profile, you will see all our contacts.

Thanks!
