Thank you to the wildlife officers, Malaysian customs officers and Sabah police on the record seizure of 30 tonnes of pangolins and their scales worth RM8.16 million. 👏💪👍

Wildlife crime is run by dangerous international syndicates similar to illegal drug smuggling. Wildlife crime threatens national security and the future of many of our threatened species.



The haul included 1,800 boxes of frozen pangolins, 572 more frozen pangolins in six freezers, 61 live pangolins in cages, and 361kg of pangolin scales.
