Greed and ignorance have led to Pangolins being trafficked in illegal wildlife markets potentially creating this new strain of Coronavirus. 

It is time the illegal trade in wildlife was stopped permanently to avoid future outbreaks of disease and the consequent deaths of both humans and animals.

Pangolins need to remain in the wild,they are nocturnal ,shy and secretive creatures who keep well away from people.

We need to stop all trafficking urgently and pursue the people at the top, who trade in and create a market for their meat,scales and leather.

Pangolins can not be farmed,they do not survive well in captivity ,vast numbers have been taken from the wild in Africa and Asia.

Man created this problem not Pangolins and we must ensure that we solve it and protect them for future generations.

Helping Pangolins will help us all and show we can make a difference.

Please sign this petition calling for the governments of all  countries to permanently close markets trading in Wildlife and agree to the comprehensive protection of Pangolins.
