THE NEW ENDANGERED DESIGN IS...😁😄😃 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔! In South Africa the Pangolin ranges over most of the former eastern, northern and western Transvaal, northern KwaZulu-Natal, northeastern Cape, from where its distribution continues into neighbouring countries. The two main threats encountered by ground pangolin populations are habitat loss and illegal trafficking. Due to human cultivation of land, the pangolin faces habitat fragmentation and corresponding reduction in numbers.[4] Meanwhile, illegal trade has an even stronger impact, as pangolins are reported to be the most trafficked animal in the world. 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 because their skin makes attractive leather for boots, similar to snakeskin or armadillo boots. Also, Pangolins are eaten in some parts of the world. According to the recent IUCN Red List assessments, all four Pangolin species are declining and are listed as Vulnerable. How can you help? 1. Don’t eat pangolin meat, and don’t buy pangolin products. 2. Raise awareness about pangolins by sharing the National Geographic pangolin story on social media. 3.
