Presented by Rolex. Hunted for their scales and meat, pangolins are among the most heavily trafficked mammals in the world, with millions believed to have been harvested in Africa over recent decades. But in places like Cameroon, conservationists are working to protect these armored creatures. At the tikkihywoodfoundation's rescue center, staff and minders tend to injured pangolins before rehabilitating them for release into the wild, managing complex care needs that can change from day to day. Through its partnership with the National Geographic Society and as part of its Perpetual Planet Initiative, #Rolex supports expeditions exploring and protecting remarkable places around the world, a selection of which are featured in #AfricaEarthsWildHome. #PerpetualPlanet Learn more about the efforts to save pangolins at the link in bio.
