Adopt a Pangolin
Did you know that pangolins are the most illegally trafficked mammal in the world?
They are wanted for their scales, their meat, their skin - and despite legislation, illegal trafficking of these animals continues. There are a number of charities and wildlife trusts working to help pangolins - and you can help them by adopting a pangolin, either for yourself or as a gift adoption!
You can also take a look at Pangolin Corner which has more ways of how you can help pangolins!

Adopt or sponsor a pangolin
One way to help and support charities working to protect pangolins is to adopt or sponsor a pangolin. Adoptions and sponsorships also make great gifts for pangolin lovers and nature lovers. They help raise awareness of what pangolins are, too, because one of the problems pangolins has is that very few people know about them. There's a list below of charities which offer Adopt a pangolin or Sponsor a pangolin opportunity.
