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.

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.

Born Free operates major, long-term conservation projects in Kenya, Cameroon and India. These vast habitats are home to several threatened pangolin species. Your regular gift today could protect wild pangolins. You could keep their forest and savannah homes safe. Let’s develop sustainable livelihoods, so local people don’t have to exploit wildlife.

You can help save pangolins! Together, let’s save lives, bring those who want to kill them to justice. Let’s do everything possible to secure pangolins a safe future in the wild.

From your crime-fighting friends of pangolins at Born Free
