Pangolin Outreach Initiative By Namibia Chamber of Environment

Pangolins are believed to be the most trafficked animals in the world. The biggest demand for pangolins is in Asia, especially China. The main reason is that the scales, made of keratin like our fingernails, hair and rhino horns, are used in traditional Asian medicines and for ornaments and charms. Pangolin meat is also sold at high prices in Asian restaurants.

Pangolins have walked the earth for over 80 million years. They are insectivores and harmless to people. They just do good for our environment. They eat ants and termites - millions and millions - as many as 70 million per pangolin per year.
