PASIGHAT, Aug 21: A Pangolin rescued by the Silluk Swachh Abhiyan of Silluk village under Mebo Sub-Division was handed over to the  D. Ering Memorial Wildlife Sanctuary today.
The Pangolin was rescued by the members when the animal was being chased and injured by dogs near the village. The members then treated the wounded animal for around a week with the consultation of medical experts from Wildlife Trust of India.
Kepang Nong Borang, Chairman, Silluk Swachh Abhiyan said "Releasing the rescued Pangolin in the village surroundings or other forest areas would be a risk for the animal as anyone can hunt or kill it. So we decided to get it released in the sanctuary for its safety, as the wildlife sanctuary has better safety avenues for the wildlife."
Borang appealed to everyone for saving and protecting wildlife for better ecological balance. “The SSA team from Silluk has been working for wildlife protection and forest conservation besides making the village among the cleanest villages of Arunachal Pradesh and we will keep up the spirit of wildlife and human coexistence by saving more wildlife," he said.
Chow Konseng Chowpo, RFO Borguli Wildlife Range while appreciating the team said “Wildlife is a part & parcel of human existence, so we must save and protect wildlife. I would like to appeal to everyone to come forward in saving wildlife."
Divisional Forest Officer, D. Ering Wildlife Sanctuary, Tasang Taga said that such love towards wild animals from team SSA will go a long way in saving and protecting wildlife. “D. Ering Wildlife Sanctuary houses several numbers of Pangolins and the rescued Pangolin will be released in the sanctuary shortly when the flooding in the Siang river subsides."
