Your gift can help stop those who want to hunt, kill and sell pangolins
Hello John,
Who could kill a pangolin? You’ll be disgusted, but pangolin poaching is big business. Highly-organised, heartless criminal gangs target these shy, peaceful creatures for profit. And the terrified pangolins’ only defence? To curl into a ball.
Your gift today could help stop international traffickers, and protect pangolins in the wild.

The edge of extinction
It’s shocking, but every hour of every day, at least 17 of these gentle animals are captured and killed. But, even more sickening, is the unimaginable cruelty inflicted before each one perishes – many boiled alive.
These prehistoric mammals have been around for 70 million years, but today? They’re on the brink of extinction. And it’s all due to grotesque human greed.
YOU CAN HELP STOP THE CRUELTY
As you know, pangolins are illegally targeted for their unique, overlapping scales – wrongly thought to have medicinal properties – and highly prized as meat. This voracious trade has become a critical threat.
Your kindness will help stop those who want to hunt, kill and sell pangolins. With your help, Born Free is 100% committed to fighting wildlife crime. We’re in this for the long-haul. Do you feel the same way? Please, help stop the suffering!

Throughout their lengthy history, insect-eating pangolins have played a vital ecological role. They devour ants and termites, with each pangolin consuming 20,000 insects every day. So, these unsung heroes help control pests, protect forests from termite destruction and keep nature in balance.
Don't let the sun go down on pangolins!
