During the hike, everyone was on the lookout for pangolin tracks which they had learned to recognise from the
presentation given by Alex. Although everybody searched very hard in different areas of the conservation
forest, unfortunately no tracks were to be seen but everyone enjoyed the experience and felt educated on
pangolins.
Overall the day was a success as everyone learned about a new species and shared it with their friends on
facebook and twitter in order to get the information all over the world. Alex, our biodiversity intern said; I really
enjoyed organising World Pangolin Day and everyone seemed very enthusiastic about learning about
pangolins and looking for the tracks, it was both fun and informative!
