18 FEBRUARY, WORLD PANGOLIN DAY : THE MOST POACHED MAMMAL IN THE WORLD

The pangolin has become infamous for its alleged responsibility in the transmission of the Covid-19 virus to humans and is the most poached animal on the planet, well ahead of the rhinoceros and the elephant. It is considered a vulnerable species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's red list. Populations have been steadily declining in recent decades, with the pangolin being the victim of intensive poaching for its scales and meat, which are mainly sold on Asian markets. In Cameroon and Congo, our teams are working to counter this poaching and protect this unique mammal.
