Summary

[edit]
Description

Approximately 3 metric tons of pangolin scales were burned in Yaounde, Cameroon on 2/17/2017.

Album description: "On the eve of World Pangolin Day, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service commends the Government of Cameroon for its destruction today of approximately 3 metric tons of confiscated pangolin scales. Pangolins are believed to be the most heavily trafficked wild mammals in the world, with as many as 1 million pangolins being poached from the wild during the last decade. Today’s pangolin scale burn event, the first of its kind in Africa, will send a strong message that the poaching of pangolins and trafficking of their meat and scales will no longer be tolerated in Cameroon."
