Today is the 8th annual World Pangolin Day – an opportunity for you and I to join together in raising awareness about these unique mammals — and their plight. Pangolin numbers are rapidly declining in Asia and Africa. So, let’s give pangolin a hand by:

TWEET using the hashtag #WorldPangolinDay

SHARE pangolin information on your social media networks

CREATE pangolin art — paint, draw, sculpt, tattoo

EDUCATE by giving a presentation about pangolins at school

HOST a World Pangolin Day party or event

SUPPORT organizations which are working to protect pangolins

INFORM traditional medicine prescribers that the use of pangolin scales is illegal (and there are no proven health benefits to consuming scales — they are made of keratin, just like fingernails!)

NOTIFY the authorities if you see pangolins for sale at markets or on restaurant menus, or if you know of anyone capturing or possessing pangolins.
