More About This Film

Mission pangolin : Retour à la vie sauvage follows Kosha, a female pangolin rescued as an orphan in Zimbabwe and gradually prepared for release back into the wild. The documentary follows her rehabilitation over six years, revealing both her behavior and the practical challenges involved in reintroducing one of the world's most heavily trafficked mammals.

Wayne de Lange and Ruth Berry combine field footage with interviews with the Tikki Hywood Foundation team. The project also documents the conservation techniques developed around Kosha, including tracking technology, remote cameras, and other methods designed to study a notoriously difficult animal to follow in the wild.
