In Liberia, Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary is caring for pangolins, which are targeted for bushmeat and the illegal trade in their scales.
Pangolins are found across Africa and Asia, but all eight species are at risk of extinction, killed for their meat and for use in traditional medicine. In Liberia, they are commonly known as "ants bears" owing to their very particular diet of ants and termites, and this sanctuary is a haven for them.
"Since I've started working with Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary, I feel like animal(s) are part of me," Deh Jr tells CNN. "So whenever I see someone hurting (an) animal, I feel like they're personally hurting me."
