World Pangolin Day 2023

Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked non-human mammal in the world. Even though they are federally protected, poaching for their scales and meat are at an all-time high. The scaly anteater may be able to protect itself from predators by rolling up into a ball, but it’s up to us to help them against a more dangerous threat: humans.
