Pangolins under threat as wildlife poaching increases

One of the world's most trafficked animals, the pangolin is under threat due to a vast and growing illegal trade network. Smuggled from Africa to Asia, their scales are used in traditional African and Asian medicine But in South Africa, some conservationists are working on rehabilitating rescued animals.
