Saving Pangolins - The World’s Most Trafficked Mammal - Elisa Panjang [Ecochat]

Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world. We invite pangolin conservationist Elisa Panjang, who has helped elevate the status of the Sunda Pangolin to critically endangered. We discuss her work in education, policy change, and research, and how we can save pangolins from being poached to extinction.
