Unfortunately, Pangolins are believed to be the most trafficked mammal in the world. Every year, thousands of pangolins are hunted and killed for their scales and meat. Their scales are used in traditional Chinese medicine. However, you can click here to learn more about, support, and/or donate to help preserve the Pangolins.
