Pangolins - Solutions

Since pangolins are soon to be extinct, it is crucial that they are protected. Although it doesn’t seem like they do much for the environment, they help out a lot. When pangolins dig up burrows, it helps shift soil around. Once they abandon their burrows, other animals can use them. Their diet also helps out with the insect population. Some solutions that can help protect these species are spreading awareness to the public, using detection dogs to help detect trafficking, and engaging in communities that help raise money for pangolin endangerment.
