Pangolins need your help

Pangolins are the world’s most trafficked wild mammal.

Despite all 8 species being protected by national and international law, demand for their meat and scales for use in traditional Asian medicine means they continue to be illegally traded in huge numbers. 

Tens of thousands of pangolins are cruelly slaughtered every year and sold into the burgeoning commercial wildlife trade. As they protect forests from termite destruction, the impact of this is not only felt by the individual pangolins themselves but by the whole ecosystem they’ve been taken from. When pangolins are taken from the wild, other animals suffer.

We’ve been working to end the global wildlife trade and raise awareness about its devastating impact. We are calling on the UK government to end the import and export of wild animals into the UK, in 2020 we managed to secure over 1 million signatures on a petition urging G20 leaders to end the wildlife trade. Keeping up this pressure will be key to our success.

With your help we will stop the cruelty that the wildlife trade for medicine and meat inflicts on the world’s pangolins. With your support we can keep these shy and environmentally important animals in the wild where they belong.
