I am writing to urge you to take action to stop pangolin poaching in China. Poaching for illegal trade in Asian pangolins and the destruction of their habitat has made these remarkable scaled animals one of the most endangered mammal groups in the world.

Pangolins are hunted for food, for use in traditional medicine and as fashion accessories, and for a rampant illegal international trade in scales, skins, and meat.

There is high demand for nearly all of their body parts, principally from China. This must not continue - please implement high protections for pangolins today.
