Found in the tall grasslands of the southern Himalayan foothills, the smallest pig in the world is also the rarest. Loss and degradation of the pygmy hog's habitat threaten to wipe out the species, but successful reintroductions offer some hope for the future. We are proud to be a part of the Pygmy Hog Conservation Programme to try and save this Critically Endangered species from extinction. | Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
