On the 4th April,2025 executive members of Denkyira Heritage Foundation rescued a distressed pangolin! On behalf of the Foundation, Mr Jonathan Mensah who is the Fundraising and Monetary Manager, did the presentation. Pangolin which is almost extinct is known in Twi as Aprawa. Pangolins are vital for our ecosystem, and every effort counts to protect them from illegal wildlife trade.

The animal was donated to the Wildlife Department of the Kumasi Zoo.

Wildlife conservation and animal welfare remain a top priority. Pangolin (Aprawa), for example, plays a pivotal role in our environment. They are regarded as keystone species because they provide several ecological services that directly affect other species. They are , therefore, crucial in maintaining ecosystem balance ,promoting soil health through their burrowing activities, and controlling pest populations. Unfortunately, these scaly creatures are listed as critically endangered . Hence ,our unrelenting effort to ensure that they  are preserved.
