The shy and harmless pangolin is currently believed to be the most trafficked mammal globally. Pangolins are killed for their scales which are used in traditional Chinese medicine and for their meat, a delicacy in China and Vietnam. Four of the eight species of pangolins are found in Africa. On this day, it is important to know that there is need to conserve pangolins not only because of their uses in the ecosystem but also the fact that they have interest in their own lives. To some communities in Africa, Uganda in particular, a pangolin is a totem for some tribes. Pangolins should be conserved.
