Summary

Description

Close-up of some of the confiscated pangolin scales.

Album description: "On the eve of World Pangolin Day, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service commends the Government of Cameroon for its destruction today of approximately 3 metric tons of confiscated pangolin scales. Pangolins are believed to be the most heavily trafficked wild mammals in the world, with as many as 1 million pangolins being poached from the wild during the last decade. Today’s pangolin scale burn event, the first of its kind in Africa, will send a strong message that the poaching of pangolins and trafficking of their meat and scales will no longer be tolerated in Cameroon."
