*[Enwl-eng] The people who save pangolins from extinction are volunteers

[ENWL]

            Pangolins arrive at this clinic sick, wounded, and emaciated by 
poachers. Then volunteers nurse them back to health.

                  Pangolins are shy, scaly mammals around the size of 
housecats. Like any other animal, all they want is a good life free from 
pain and suffering. But they're being tormented, hunted, maimed, and 
slaughtered out of existence. In fact, pangolins are one of the most-poached 
and most-illegally-trafficking animals in the entire world. Who's going to 
rescue these amazing creatures that are on the brink of extinction? Right 
now it's a group of volunteers in South Africa known as the African Pangolin 
Working Group. But they shouldn't have to do this dangerous, vital work on 
their own.

                  When pangolins arrive at the group's expertly-run 
veterinarian clinic, many are nearly dead from injuries, dehydration, 
starvation, or sickness. Some spent days or even weeks being abused by 
poachers before someone managed to secret them out. Just last year, 
authorities discovered the sliced-off scales of more than 150,000 murdered 
pangolins in the hands of smugglers, but the group estimates this only 
accounts for 20% of the total killings. That means as many as 750,000 
pangolins may have been butchered and had the outer layers of their bodies 
ripped off, just in one single year alone. Tell the governments of South 
Africa, the United States, and also the United Nations to show real 
commitment to pangolin protection by providing this group with funds and 
assistance!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. They've spent almost 10 years saving endangered 
pangolins, and now they're hoping to crack down on poaching and trafficking, 
too. But they need governmental help, now.
