Five suspects arrested at Irene Mall, Centurion wanting to sell a Pangolin. Excellent work in this undercover sting operation by the DPCI HAWKS and the @SAPoliceService. Pangolins are the most trafficked mammals globally

👏For the first time, a Decision has just been adopted at #CITESCoP19 which urges Parties to integrate financial crimes into wildlife crime investigations. It will help identify criminal networks and illicit #financialflows often linked to other organised crimes. Plenary pending.

#Pangolins are considered the world’s most trafficked mammals. Our analysis found >300 tones of pangolins & parts seized in Asia from 2015-2012.
Governments at #CITESCoP19 voted to endorse a recommendation to ban domestic trade of pangolins that support illegal trade & poaching

Just a reminder that everything (!) from the main rooms at #CITESCoP19 is being livestreamed in English, Spanish and French. See for yourself every debate and decision on the future of international trade in endangered species youtube.com/cites/streams

Pangolin Ditsi was so terrified when she was rescued, that she was given the name Dithlong, meaning "the shy one". She has since grown into a confident pangolin and this wouldn't have been possible without your help.
Here's her story: bit.ly/3WbZHUh

This ancient being is named Callan.
Without the help of Johannesburg Wildlife Vet and @PangolinWorking he would have had its life ended at the hands of man. Now, Callan is now roaming free under the watchful eye of Mayoni Private Game Reserve. 💚

We’re not sure how we missed the #AddPangolinRuinAnything hashtag game from a few days ago but we couldn’t disagree more. Just about every single post actually seems better with a pangolin. (Don’t quote us on that, we haven’t read every single one.)

A 28 yr old serving member of ZRPolice🇿🇼 based in Masvingo was arrested by his colleagues for illegal possession of the #WorldsMostTraffickedAnimal in Harare. He was in company of 2 other accomplices. A pangolin related offence attracts 9 years imprisonment in Zimbabwe.

A few months ago, someone dropped this little guy by the Zoology department at @UnivofGh.Not sure what the story was. Took some photos and called vets at Wildlife division of @fcghana2020 and handed him over. This is one of them. Awesome creatures!
