Protect Pangolins Under the Endangered Species Act!

Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the entire world.

Following a 2015 petition, co-authored by Born Free USA, to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to list seven species of pangolins on the Endangered Species Act, USFWS issued findings in the Federal Register proposing to list these species.

ESA protections for pangolins would prohibit the import and trade of pangolin parts in the U.S., an important step to protect them from extinction.

The deadline for this comment period has passed, but you can take action on additional wildlife issues in our Action Center.
