John,
Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal on earth. They’re stolen and
slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands because some people wrongly think
that their scales cure cancer.
Now, a mining company is trying to destroy one of the last places where
pangolins can be safe in the wild. This unique, fragile, shy little animal
desperately needs our help!
Every $7 donated protects an entire acre of pangolin
habitat, and for the next 48 hours our donations will be matched, doubling
our impact.
This money will go to building a massive national park in pangolin-rich
Guinea, where mining and poaching would be BANNED. But the mining company
is racing to expand into the SAME land. We have to beat them to it and
save thousands of pangolins.
Can you urgently pitch in?

Pangolins can't cure cancer, but they are very real forest protectors.
Just one pangolin eats enough termites to safeguard over 40 hectares of
forest!
And it isn’t just pangolins in this forest – chimps and elephants call it
home as well! But extensive illegal logging and timber trafficking are
posing an existential threat to the ecosystem. That’s why our partners
Rainforest Trust and The Wild Chimpanzee Foundation are trying to create
this massive protected area (the size of Luxembourg!) before the mining
company makes things even worse.
They’re working with the government of Guinea and local communities to
ensure the new park is supported and resourced. These communities will be
deeply involved at every stage of the park’s creation and management,
including training to work as eco-guards to prevent trafficking.
Over the last few years, the Ekō community has come together repeatedly to
buy and protect forests just like this. Let’s do it again and help save
the pangolin’s home from devastation. They deserve somewhere safe to live.
