Pangolins are mysterious creatures we know little about. But, one thing we do know is that their very survival hangs in the balance.

Scales from an estimated 600,000 pangolins have been seized by enforcement authorities in the past four years alone.

Born Free works with partners on a global scale to reduce and, if possible, halt the illegal trade in all wild animals, including Asian and African pangolins.

If we don’t act now to protect the pangolin, it will be too late.
