Smaller indigenous wildlife is often overlooked, but the Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital works tirelessly to care for these vulnerable species. Through its partnership with Relate Bracelets, funds are raised to support the hospital’s vital work, including specialised care for some of South Africa’s most endangered animals, like Temminck’s pangolin. Many rescued pangolins arrive suffering from stress, malnutrition, or injuries from poaching, requiring expert, species-specific treatment to give them a second chance.
Run by a dedicated veterinary team, the hospital also trains students and experienced veterinarians in wildlife rehabilitation and release. Donations raised via Relate Bracelets help fund initiatives such as Africa’s first dedicated pangolin ward, a quiet, low-stress environment crucial for recovery. This support not only improves survival and successful release rates but also contributes to national efforts to combat illegal wildlife trafficking and protect the country’s most vulnerable species.
