Pangolins are shy, curious mammals that are relatively unknown to most people. They also desperately need our help. We lose 1 pangolin every 5 minutes to poaching. Save Pangolins is the most effective pangolin conservation project in Africa and Asia. Save Pangolins aims to eliminate the demand, trafficking, and poaching crisis that puts all 8 species of pangolins at risk of extinction.
