Hope for the Pangolin

We all know that there has been bad news for the Pangolin as numbers have rapidly declined - we know this because David Attenborough told us so on Attenborough's Ark.

He named the Pangolin as one incredible species that he would like to save - one of the many unknown (until now) creatures that are suffering from poaching, habitat loss and climate change.

There is now a shred of hope for the Pangolin as a rehabilitation centre has been opened in Cambodia which cares for rescued animals who are sick or damaged before releasing them back into the wild.

The pangolin's new found fame is a boost to conservation efforts but who else do we need to save? 137 species become extinct in 2012 so lets make sure we are aware of which species need special attention this year. Its not just about the Pangolin.
