Endoscopic Sterilization and Release
We recently rescued and treated a half blind long-tailed macaque for ingesting insecticide. Because she came from a high-density macaque troop in an urban area, we also decided to perform endoscopic sterilization to contribute to population control. This endoscopic method is much less invasive and allows for a short recovery…

Pangolin Relocation
It’s not every day that we cross paths with a pangolin! A farmer found this sweet pangolin on his plantation very far from any natural habitat. His friend wanted to buy it off him so we are very glad that he came to WFFT instead! The nocturnal and shy…
