Pangolins - On the Brink of Extinction


The pangolin's only enemy - humans. A documentary about the most poached mammal in the world.

Pangolins are one of the oldest animal species in the world and are considered sacred in many cultures. But their keratin armor, which previously protected them from predators, is now becoming their downfall. In China, the scales are considered a miracle cure for cancer and skin diseases. The harmless ant-eaters are already on the brink of extinction in Asia, which is why more and more are being hunted in Africa.

How can these fascinating animals be saved from their seemingly unstoppable demise?
