The Pangolin has been around for 40 million years

Written By

I am appear on WCCO Radio in Minneapolis to discuss wildlife trafficking and my recent trip to Kenya to train prosecutors to handle these kinds of cases. I also discussed the most highly trafficked animal on the planet, the pangolin. It has been around for 40,000,000 years. Yeah, that is a lot of zeros. However, this animal is being hunted into extinction for its scales, which are utterly worthless. We will talk about what it means and why this animal and others are so important.
