In the heart of Nepal, a land cradled by the majestic Himalayas and blessed with a tapestry of diverse landscapes, an untouched drama unfolds amid the unspoiled forests. It directs our gaze towards the unassuming yet mysterious pangolins, the most heavily trafficked mammals on the face of our planet. Nepal, akin to many nations, grapples with the relentless scourge of illicit hunting and trafficking of these extraordinary creatures, a peril that threaten the very essence of its biodiverse tapestry. Our journey commences in Nepal, but its resonance knows no bounds, extending its call across the globe.

Pangolins, these enigmatic and mysterious beings, have silently traversed the Nepalese forests since time immemorial. However, in contemporary times, these gentle souls confront a harsh reality a virulent illegal wildlife trade fueled by unforgiving avarice. What were once the tranquil woodlands of Nepal, once a sanctuary for these creatures, now bear witness to the somber echoes of poachers and contraband dealers. But the tale of the pangolins is not an isolated one; it is a reflection of a global crisis. Across the expanse of our planet, these remarkable creatures encounter a similar fate when they fall prey to nefarious networks that span across continents. The illegal trade in pangolins and their precious body parts is driven by insatiable demand on the clandestine international market, creating a complex web of cruelty and environmental degradation that ensnares us all.

This difficult situation is not confined to Nepal's borders; it is a global predicament. What stokes this insidious trade, and what repercussions does it bear on the world's biodiversity? In Nepal, we are steadfast in our resolve to unveil these truths and raise a united voice against those who perpetrate this inhumane trade. As a nation, we unite in our efforts to kindle awareness, magnify the muted plea of the pangolins, and shield our natural heritage. However, our mission extends beyond geographical confines. Pangolins, the sentinels of ecosystems, teeter on the brink of extinction worldwide. Together, we must forge a global coalition to safeguard these remarkable creatures. Their survival hinges on our collective comprehension and collaborative endeavors. It is a resounding call to action that transcends Nepal's boundaries, inviting the entire world to unite and champion these silent heroes. As we safeguard Nepal's biodiversity, we concurrently assume the mantle of global stewards in the realm of nature conservation. This is not an isolated struggle but a shared responsibility to protect the planet.

Pangolins call out not only within Nepal but across the far reaches of our globe. Will we heed their call?

    Hello, this is mentor Seeun.
    I agree that the llegal trade of pangolines is driven by the demand of the international market, as the same happened with tigers and other precious animals in the past. I hope that Nepal can find a way to cooperate with other countries to find a way to successfully safeguard endangered animals, and the biodiversity of Nepal.
    Thank you for your report.
    Oh, and I assume this is your October free report, as you already submitted the thematic report?
