PLIGHT OF THE PANGOLIN

Pangolins are mysterious creatures we know little about. But, one thing we do know is that their very survival hangs in the balance.

That’s why we're working to conserve these amazing mammals in the wild, to rescue and return pangolins in need back to safe areas of their natural habitat, and to stop their illegal trade.

You can help give pangolins the chance of a better future.

With exotic pets on the rise in Britain, are you living next door to some of the world’s deadliest creatures?

PROTECT THEM. PROTECT US.

COVID-19 has transformed our world. We’ve had to radically change how we live to save lives. But, this is just a short-term fix.

Unless we change our ways, another pandemic will happen again. As an essential first step, wildlife markets must close. We must learn. We must re-educate ourselves. We must act. Watch our new short film to find out why when we protect them all, we protect ourselves.
