AFRICAN PANGOLIN THREATS:
“African pangolins are also threatened by intensive hunting and poaching, as well as a developing intercontinental trade. In many parts of Africa pangolin meat is consumed as bush meat and their scales and other body parts are used in traditional African bush medicine known as ‘Muti’ or Juju’. Due to declines in Asian pangolin populations as well as development-related factors in Africa, African pangolins are now being targeted for intercontinental trade to Asian markets. Habitat loss comprises a secondary threat and land management practices such as pesticide use and the installation of electric fences pose an often fatal threat to the ground-dwelling African pangolins.” - @pangolinsg

*Edit* since this post has blown up so much I want to add some info on ways and tips on how you can help out. If you find bottles, cans or any type of container on the bottom of the river or any waterway make sure to empty it to remove any living creature that could be inside! Catfish and Crawfish make these cans and bottles their homes! Always wear protective gloves! These @darkfin gloves are a great example! They keep from your hands getting cut up especially from broken glass like the shattered bottle I grabbed off the bottom of the river! Be safe always go in groups and never leave your dive buddy's sight! But most importantly always stay within your limits, if a piece of trash is too deep for you to dive, don't push it! And last but not least always be respectful of wildlife because after all you're in THEIR home! You wouldn't like it if your housekeeper came up to you in your home and pet/grabbed you! But I want to say a huge THANK YOU for all the shares and kind words! Always remember don't trash where you splash!
@darkfin babes for the win! Pulled all this out of the Santa Fe river today with my babes @skullsandscales and @moustachemonstr and @mergazephotography !
