00:00In Palawan, one of the most dangerous animals is starting to become active.
00:07And the one and only animal that can be scratched.
00:11The Palawan Pangolin or Balintong.
00:18It smells every corner of the forest to find its favorite food.
00:26Cows and sheep.
00:31Even though the Balintong are rare, they are still the world's most trafficked animal.
00:39According to the National Parks in 2019,
00:43it is estimated that more than a million Pangolins are used for illegal trading.
00:50But aside from poaching, there are other dangers in their lives.
00:56Due to rising temperatures,
01:00the number of cows around dies or goes down.
01:05And in the search for food, there is a sudden danger.
01:13It's too hot here in Palawan.
01:15The incidence of grass fires is increasing.
01:20It smells like it's on fire.
01:23Wow, look at this.
01:25Look at its feet.
01:26Oh my gosh.
01:28It's on fire.
01:29It's skin is falling off.
01:31This Balintong is a victim of a grass fire.
01:36We are preparing our fluids because this Pangolin was burned in a grass fire.
01:45Because it's too hot here in Palawan, the incidence of grass fires is increasing.
01:51Let's see its injury.
01:54Wow, look at this.
01:56Look at its feet.
02:00Oh my gosh.
02:03It's on fire.
02:05We can see that there are first-degree burns on this Pangolin's feet.
02:11So we need to disinfect it.
02:17If there is no damage to its eyes, I'm worried.
02:29This is the thing that I've been waiting for to witness the release of Pangolins.
02:35Before we release them, we want them to be hydrated.
02:40We will soak them here so that they can absorb water.
02:59Thank you for watching Born to be Wild.
