Pangolin Protectors
Pangolins are the only scaled mammal on earth, and unfortunately this unique and beautiful feature is the target of poachers and illegal animal traders seeking the scales for use in traditional medicine. Wildlife veterinarian Elias Mubobo works with the community around Gorongosa National Park to rehabilitate rescued pangolins, and in order to curb the spread of poaching and trade, his work also includes outreach to local children to rally community support in protecting pangolins they spot in the wild.

Guano Gold
Economic growth and wildlife conservation often run in conflict, but Mozambican scientist Cesária Huo hopes to support a new fully-sustainable and economically viable model for harvesting a potent natural resource: bat guano. In the stunning landscapes of the Cheringoma Plateau in Mozambique, Cesária embarks on an expedition with her mentor, Professor Piotr Naskrecki, Ph.D., to survey the local population of bats and to determine whether guano can be sustainably harvested from the Cheringoma caves.
