Natural World: Pangolins - The World's Most Wanted Animal
The endearing pangolin is a little-known scaly mammal. Found in Africa and Asia, these shy creatures have an unfortunate tagline - they are the most poached and illegally trafficked animals in the world. Based in Namibia, conservationist Maria Diekmann rescues and rehabilitates her local pangolins. In a bid to better understand the global issues they are facing, we follow Maria to Vietnam, Thailand and China into the very heart of the crisis, where demand for pangolin products is greatest. In what turns out to be an emotional journey, Maria joins forces with a Chinese megastar to build a campaign to bring awareness to the plight of an animal most people have never even heard of.

The pangolin walks on her hind legs is just too cute! Some people do not deserve earth.
So cute
Its pretty selective though to behave like this was one of the biggest problems among humanitie's behaviour
Leave the poor ball alone 😡 human and lions. We need to give these traffickers death sentence
Love Steven's energy, walking up and going "I'd like a job here" and taking to it immediately, wish it would happen to me
They're so special,it's sad that people don't care about anything but lining their pockets
Put a bounty on the poachers! It's a Win Win Situation!
So killing people to solve the killing of an animal? Terrible logic you can’t be serious smh
@@1028wash killing horrible people, not just people… they’re criminals and cruel. i dont support death penalty, so this ‘solution’ is a bit too much. long long jail time should be sufficient to stop a part of them.
If there were no poachers, life would be 50 years ahead of itself
poachers aren't the problem. You are the problem.
@@ZennExile What did he do?
@@ZennExile Did that give you a boost out of your self-hatred? I hope you can find some self-respect, but it seems unlikely.
@@zweigackroyd7301 do you even know what you are mad about? Or is this just a thing you do that your family ignores because they are tired of fighting the same battle over and over again for you to learn nothing?
@@ZennExile I’m confused about why he is the problem? Explain and NO excuses
I'm surprised the sun still shines on all of us how wicked people can be.
but there are still the kind-hearted people who deserve it
You need to study astronomy
I think it’s less about people being wicked and more about people needing to feed themselves/their families. Context is pretty important.
@@stevo3938
Exactly.
Evidently, as proven by the OP, some people don't have a basic grasp of the natural world. These people credulously believe in the supernatural, presuming that our star (the Sun) is a conscious, sapient entity; and that it has special interest on what humans are doing on the third planet.
Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM🙂
Poach the Poachers!
Poachers are only one side of the problem. As mentioned in the documentary - the Chinese/Asian markets are at fault. If there were no economical incentives to poach for pangolins the African communities would not do it. The ultimate solution is aiding African economies and eliminating the demand in Asia. The scales of pangolins are used in traditional medicine, but the science tells unequivocally there are no health benefits from consuming these scales - its the same as eating your nails or hair. Chemically it is the exact same compound!
Exactly👍🏾
Precisely!
there is a simple way to make the life of the Pangolin and in fact ALL other life forms hold a value greater than can be offered by Asian markets. It's actually quite simple and only requires land, solar energy, a connectivity solution, and human effort. But you won't do it yourself. You want someone else to solve the problem for you. That's the catch. YOU have to be the solution. Are you ready for that?
@علي القيسي Nothing worth doing is easy :( existence is nice like that 😂
Of course when China does actually try to crack down on traditional "medicine" like this we see dozens of breathless articles in western media about the ~brutal totalitarian state~ banning traditional medical practices and suppressing ancient Chinese heritage.
I hate poachers and i want them to understand the pain animals go through by punishing them.
@@lubrigonbargothka9401 My mistake I didn’t knew that poachers were paid to do this so that they can fulfill their needs. Can you tell me more? I mean who are the ones who buy animals from them?
@@lubrigonbargothka9401 Also why is it that the local government allow such dealings there?
The poachers wouldn't exist without Chinese merchants.
@@roxanemarry7337 Its often not allowed but done in secret
@@lubrigonbargothka9401 We can do both at the same time. And Sorry but I'm not, and I can't understand how you can exterminate so many species. And YOU can change that, with the evolution of the eco tourism in Africa. So sorry, but I won't feel anything if a poacher is killed.
I think governments should provide some job opertunities in all these areas.
This could be one of the significant way of stoping poaching. Because, all these people will be doing poaching for their end meets.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE TO RUIN A GOOD THING!
This problem about pangolin poaching is especially pervasive here in Sindh province of Pakistan. Apparently, they're sold to rich Chinese buyers who believe it's scales and other parts have various healing, vitality etc powers.
These idiotic old Chinese medicine beliefs are at the root of so many poaching problems. All sorts of animals are killed or made to endure torture (such as bear bile extraction) because of these old, false, ridiculous ideas.
Those poor animals getting captured by those inhumane poachers who not know the consequences of how these animals are important to nature, those vile poachers all need to be stopped.
Steven picked the right job for real
Prayers for you Stephen
Maria is a hero!
We are aware of the irony that pangolins are in grave danger in the wild and more of them may live in zoos or sanctuaries depending on your perspective.
there are traps in her sanctuary as well in the video so if the wild population are gone, the ones in the sanctuaries are next... just like the rhinos
It's hard to raise pangolins in captivity ... not entirely sure why, maybe they don't eat the paste that anteaters commonly consume in zoos. I think only one person has managed to breed pangolins in full captivity?
Very informative, the problem really has to be dealt with in its core
Leave the poor ball alone 😡 human and lions
Excellent work… I would donate if I had more money
Wonderful as usual:)
Maria you are not alone
So many of us want peace
For the world and
It's beautiful creatures
The in the last seconds of the video is so cool.
Beautiful mission. 👏👏👏😍💪🤜🤛
Justice for Sandslash!!!
That’s is so sad and I love Steve ❤️
I hate people sometimes.
Never give up
Great information
Humans are the worst thing that has ever happened to this planet!
I love pangolin
Good.

Me a Namibian who didn't even know we had pangolins here ._.
Your username.....yawn.
😎👏👏👏
I like work with this good lady,but I don't know how
I just came across a great new animal channel. You should give it a try. All Animals Always.
So are they saving pangolins or not? That my question
Vše smazat nové videa neposílalt děkuji
It is very neccessary to attack on pocher and protect this ancient and uniqe animal
🙏☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Like your channel name
@@KingsMom831 thank you very much💞💚
hello, I follow your bbc channel with interest, I would be grateful if you add Turkish subtitles in your videos.
That's a handsome lady 🤧
Can't even watch this. The title is enough to send me into orbit 😡
What is the name of the song they use at the end?
It’s u fortunate that Nelson Mandela made sure that it ISNT your property.
English subtitles too for viewers/subscribers from non English speaking countries please .
She hired Randy Marsh. Don't trust her! :P
🤔
Did they manage to save the pangolins?!?!? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!
This makes me so angry. These poor creatures!
Put bear traps if you are quite sure Big megafauna cant enter you zone...
May we all wake up to our insanity sooner than later....not much time left
I have a positive i.d on one of the poachers as Randy Marsh
is this the Dodo?
Should be a law we’re poachers aren’t counted as people and are counted as wild game for people to track down
In a quite few African countries poachers are allowed to be shot on sight.
@@thepenguin11 good
@@kinglucario6441 Yup my country Namibia was the first one in the world to start that. A lot of the foreigners that are in prison here are Asian. You should check out the hoba meteorite biggest one to fall to earth and its here. We also have the oldest desert, oldest plant. Just check it out if you love nature
@@mirinah4719 good
So by your logic you have no problem with humans being killed but a Pangolin is too far? That’s very ignorant.
Poachers are the pests to the world
Aren’t these things covered with lice and ticks?
Asia, principally China, can be proud of a distinguished past in the human history. A long, unique story. Today, she also has potential to make it better. Nonsensical consumption in name of medical treatment is long overdue. People must push the government now! Time is crucial.
I have the feeling someine likes Varta in this vid.
Dear Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai viewers how can we win this battle together?
Salam dari 🇮🇩
China!
We need to save these beautiful creatures from China.
Pretty much one of the only other bipedal animals on Earth besides dinosaurs/birds and humans, yet here we are driving then into extinction. Idiotic.
BBC Earth please i want to work with you in forest to save and care the animals, i m nature lovers, brave, healthy besides that i love work in dangerous forest and mountains
Two hideous words: Traditional Medicine
Poor people gotta make money in the worst way possible. Greed is a little son of a
Your commentary is classist. People who have money can do equally as vile things perhaps even more so because they hire people to do it. Let's not just pen it on the poor 🙄
@@houndgirl7365 I know, greed is really one hell of a arson which motivates the wires of evil. I know that there are less than a couple thousand pangolins left in the world and it will only be a small amount of time before the black market expands to a rapid greedily butt
Yes, catching the poachers, that's good....
But the problem is, by the time the poachers were captured, they've already killed the animals... The tusks of the elephant for example, if they already have the tusks, then that means they have already killed the creatures
We need to find, finish them before they even have time to act
I guess this is the part that sucks truly, it's like a regular criminal, you can't arrest someone who hasn't done anything wrong, unless you can prove their intentions. The other interesting thing is how poachers seem to even effect the traces of selective breeding and evolution in the sense. More African Elephants have begun being born that do not have the gene for tusks turned on, as more are unfortunately being poached that have tusks, yet the ones who do not aren't being hunted and thus pass down the gene more often for no tusks. It sucks to an aspect but it's almost becoming we have to beat them to their own game even, such as coloring or surgically removing parts of rhino horns for instance so they can be assured they won't be targeted in the wild. I'm just hoping that soon we can truly put an end to poaching.
Yeah we should do the same as some parc in India or Swatziland, just kill the poachers.
Poachers are heartless. May karma serve its duty upon them.
Covid is their karma
It's so sad what poachers do for 💰 the suffering they go through to make these looser rich
May the poachers burn in hell

Can we poach poachers? Yo know how much organs can sell for I'm down for a hunt
Se non ci sarebbe richiesta i bracconieri non esisterebbero, prendiamocela anche con quei signoroni pieni di soldi e che con quelli pensano (SBAGLIANDO) di comprarsi tutto, accidenti a loro!
I saw how people "cooked dead" pangolin on youtube very horrible. Dont look too far when searching for animal videos on youtube
Death Penalties for poachers. And heavy prison time for those who purchase and trade.
穿山甲这玩意儿我二十年前吃过。😂😂😂😂😂
you're crazy
I have to much in Pakistan this animales #Salla #سلاح just pkr 5000/- .1 male or femal this animale etting 🦗🦗🐜
why not try to breed them??
Its a lot harder to breed pangolins than some other animals
Poachers need to be opposed, wherever they are in the world 😠
She's dead right about Asian countries fueling poaching.
Pangolins are officially protected wild animals in China. I am not sure about other countries, but I guess probably more or less the same...The government has also made tremendous efforts to Crack down black market. Too bad, human race as one has demanded and overdrawn way too much from Mother nature the 🌎 earth that not just pangoline but also other creatures, like python skins and crocodiles coat and other furs are for luxuries, are cornered to danger instead of living vividly in the wild and therefore need to be "protected".
We all somehow somewhere somewhat have a "whole" and a lot in the "back" just do not pretend there're people who don't have one and thus are superior. It is never too late to look "back" and learn from it and then look forward, work together and become a better human race🧐
@@Sunrisesunset999 Just say no to SJWism.
Asian market is a portion of the problem. Find a way for these people to support them selvy

Poachers is one side of the story
What of bounty hunters that kill other wild animals for game
If they do it in controlled and legal manner, they don't hurt environment, they even can help it. One trophy kill of a lion can help repopulate and help conservatives to finance the efforts. They are shown the kill they are allowed to kill and it is an old or sick animal, which does not help the species in general. The illegal ones are bad of course, but trophy hunters are way fewer than poachers. Poachers kill obsurbanent ammount of animals.
