Tomorrow is World Pangolin Day, and as you may recall from previous interviews, we need to use every opportunity to highlight the plight of this most trafficked wildlife species on earth.  There are 8 different species of Pangolin, 4 of them found in Africa and 4 in Asia.  Sadly the east Asian demand for both their scales and meat means that even the far-away African species are in high demand, with buyers paying up to 3 thousand dollars per kg for the scales alone.  

Guest:  Eemaan Singlee. She grew up on the Cape Flats, a long way away from the nearest pangolin. But recently she had the opportunity to travel to the Kruger National park as part of a journalism training exercise – and what she saw there has her all fired up.
