As an individual, one must be mindful not to contribute to this problem and do what we can in our capacity to help alleviate this issue. You can do so by:
Not eating or consuming any pangolins and pangolin products such as pangolin medicine, pangolin wine, pangolin scales etc either locally or when overseas.
Spreading the message and creating awareness. Inform your family and friends about the dire situation that these pangolins are facing. Individuals can also engage the use of their social networks (such as Facebook, Twitter etc.) in order to create more awareness and enabling people to be more knowledgeable with regards to the circumstances that the pangolins are currently facing.
Reporting any illegal wildlife trade activities. If you notice any pangolin and/or pangolin products being sold in any shops, please contact the following numbers to report the illegal activity.
