Do you know what Pangolin is? Did you know that there have been several Pangolin sightings reported around NTU campus? In fact, Pangolins or also known as Tenggiling in Malay are native to Africa and Asia, including the Southeast Asia region. Despite having a body covered with scales, Pangolins are harmless and vulnerable to ominous threats from human activities. They often become common victims of poaching and trafficking across Southeast Asia where people would use their body parts for traditional medicine (despite no supporting evidence to proof its effectiveness up to dates) or delicacies. Current rapid developments have also contributed to their population decline due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
Come and join the Pangolins Rise Symposium to know more about their behaviour, threats facing them as well as ways to deal with them upon encounter.
*Registration will be closed on Saturday, 7th March 2015 at 11:59pm.
*Participants are to bring their own container and cutleries as tea reception will be served after the talk.
