John,

The adorable pangolin has been around for 80 million years -- it's
survived everything you can imagine. But poachers are pushing pangolins
toward extinction.

And Facebook is helping!

Investigators have discovered that a simple search on Facebook turns up
listing after listing for pangolin parts on fake accounts. It's against
Facebook's rules, but it isn't doing anything about it.

So let's make this a massive headache until they do. We already have a
petition with over 250,000 signers. If just 5000 of us chip in, we can
blanket Facebook with ads, targeting execs and employees, until they can't
ignore it anymore. 

Every $1 means we can show an ad to almost 100 people. Can you chip in to
stop Facebook's pangolin trade before it's too late?

Pangolins aren't as well known as elephants or jaguars, but they're
actually more trafficked than either of them -- up to 2.7 million
pangolins a year are murdered for their meat and scales.

It's not only tragic, it's dangerous -- scientists say pangolins likely
host other viruses that could easily spread to humans through contact.

It's shocking really how openly illegal pangolin parts are still being
sold on Facebook. The platform's community standards already ban this --
but apparently we need to hold their feet to the fire for them to actually
enforce it.

And the best way will be to make sure they can't miss our campaign. Every
$1 means we can show it to almost 100 people -- can you chip in now to
stop Facebook's pangolin trade?

Facebook is supposed to be about connecting people, and so many of us use
it to catch up with friends or family. It's horrifying that others are
taking advantage of the same structures to profit from the murder of
nearly-extinct animals. We need to tell Facebook there's no place for this
on our social media sites.



  Thanks for all that you do,  
Danny and the Ekō team
