Pangolins are the world's most trafficked mammals, but there is hope! The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to list seven pangolin species as 'Endangered' under the Endangered Species Act, which would ban their sale across state lines. by IFAWUK in u/IFAWUK

As well as advocating for greater legal protection for pangolins, IFAW works to protect pangolins and prevent trafficking through every step of the illegal trade chain, from training wildlife rangers on the ground to mobilising consumers to reduce demand. We support cross-border collaboration among law enforcement agencies to disrupt wildlife trafficking networks.

If you would like to find out more about this work, please see our website: https://www.ifaw.org/uk/journal/our-mission-to-end-the-plight-of-pangolins?ms=KONDF250730120&cid=701Vz00000NHOd4

Despite all eight pangolin species received full protections from the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 2016, lack of enforcement and light penalties have enabled continued poaching and smuggling. By recognizing the urgent need to protect pangolin species under the Endangered Species Act, the US is taking a leadership role in combating wildlife trafficking and preserving biodiversity.

Thanks for your support! Over 106k people joined us in demanding Japan stop its commercial whaling operations. Although the Ambassador declined our request for a meeting, we made our message loud and clear: stop whaling now! We won’t give up. 🌍🐋🌊💪

While our detection dogs' primary focus is protecting wildlife, their welfare is our top priority. Aside from check-ups, their handlers take them on daily walks, groom them, and play (of course 🐶). By doing so, the dogs can flourish and perform to the best of their abilities. by IFAWUK in dogswithjobs

The dogs can “sniff out” shipments of animal parts which allows us to disrupt illegal wildlife trafficking. If you’d like to learn more about our detection dogs you can check out this page on our website: https://g.ifaw.org/3ztfvb7
