Happy #WorldPangolinDay Wildlife Lovers! Sadly Pangolins have earned the title of the most trafficked mammal on earth. The harmless creatures that spend their time eating ants and are the only mammals with scales. The biggest threat to pangolin survival comes from the Asian continent. All eight species of pangolin are in danger of extinction due to the illegal trafficking of both live pangolins and the body parts of dead individuals - especially their scales, which are used in Asia as traditional medicine because of the false belief that the scales have medicinal properties. Many governmental groups and NGOs are working hard to combat the trafficking crisis, but they need all our help. Use the power of your network to share this incredible species with as many people as you can and bring attention to the threats they are facing. Follow & support any Pangolin organisation you come across. #Pangolin #pangolinconservation #savepangolin #stoppoaching #scales #vulnerable #wildography#wildlife #endangeredspecies #animalphotography #wildlifephotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz-2_jslSb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal, with all 8 species threatened with extinction. Three are classified as critically endangered.

😍😍😍 . . #repost @kenyanviews ・・・ By @wwf - Who’s heard of this cute creature before? This anteater-like animal is a pangolin. They’re the world’s only truly scaly mammal. But pangolins are also the most heavily trafficked wild mammal in the world, despite the fact that most people have never heard of them. All eight species of pangolin are protected under national and international laws. #kenyanviews #ProtectPangolins #WorldPangolinDay #Pangolins #StopPoaching #savepangolins #photographer #picoftheday #endangeredspecies #vscokenya #igkenya #africa #kenya #nairobi #whyilovekenya #tembeakenya #igerskenya #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildgeography #instawildlife #animallovers #yourshotphotographer#animalsofinstagram #instaanimal #naturelover #naturegram #treestagram #wildlife_photography https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mbB9MA8oM/?igshid=5knov6vcgtiz

Why have a #WorldPangolinDay? Because, within the 8 species of pangolin, some are listed as vulnerable to extinction, some are listed as endangered & some as critically endangered. But why? Well, that’s because some people still believe their scales have medicinal properties. But guess what? Pangolin scales are just keratin, nothing else. Same protein as your fingernails & hair. Unfortunately, the demand for pangolin scales continues to cause a decrease in the population of pangolins. Raising awareness and educational campaigns are making a difference. YOU can help by spreading the word on social media. And yes, the illegal exportation of pangolins feeds demands in many countries- INCLUDING the United States. So spread the word!!! . . . . . #pangolin #pangolinDay #animallovers #EndExtinction #animalpolis #animalsofinstagram #igscwildlife #animales #exclusive_animals #wildlifephoto #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifephotography #animalworld #awesomeglobe #animalofinstagram #animalsmood #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeplanet #thecritterhaven #animalsaddict #planet_of_animals #wildlife_seekers #animal_in_world #unitedstatesofamerica #igersusa (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9TRe3nDrs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b20du7nvpgul

‪It’s #WorldPangolinDay on the 15th! ✨‬ ‪—‬ ‪Pangolins are the most poached and trafficked mammal in the world. They boil these poor creatures for their meat as a rare delicacy and roast their scales for traditional medicine, mostly in China and Vietnam. My heart bleeds for these beautiful animals, such cruelty. 😭😔
