TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 16 - 22 February 2019

Oh, I missed this! 16 February was #WorldPangolinDay! Check them out here. From the site: 

Pangolins are considered one of the world’s most heavily trafficked mammal. These defenseless little beings are being slaughtered to extinction – simply to meet a demand based on superstitions and exploited by greed. Experts warn that the illegal trade in pangolins will render them extinct within our lifetime – yet most people have never heard of a pangolin!

Pangolin

Enjoy!

"being slaughtered to extinction – simply to meet a demand based on superstitions and exploited by greed."

Thank you for putting it so succinctly, that is indeed what humans do and not just to pangolins!
