We join the rest of the world to celebrate World Pangolin Day. Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal on earth. Peaceful as they are, pangolins are heartlessly murdered for their meat and scales which are on high demand in China and other Asian countries where they are without proof believed to be medicinal. Despite the protection of pangolins by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) which listed them as one of the most endangered animals hence banning all forms of commercial trade in pangolins, the illegal trade has continued to take place. Over 200,000 pangolins are killed every year. Pangolins are hence being pushed into extinction. Let’s join hands to protect the pangolins.
