Conservation Needed For Pangolins

I the Wildlife Conservationist, Based in the Greater Mara Ecosystem (6,645 kms square) that is comprises of Maasai Mara National Reserve and the Community Conservancies spearheaded by MMWCA Maasai Mara Wildlife Conservancies Association. I call upon everyone lets care for the
species found in Kenya that are targeted by the demand in the Asia, As the research shows that Pangolins are the most Trafficked Mammal on earth due to black Market demand.

Using the Citizen Science model, We approached the Community volunteers to trained them in different villages on how to take data in the field about any species they come a across in unprotected area near their villages, since the Formation of Maa Silver Research of Flora and Fauna in Maasai Mara in 2011, local Maasai Youth who join this volunteering youth group for nature become Professional Guides now in Many different company and working in the field conserved as they led Tourists in the Ecosystem by contributing Data to the Village Center.

Through Community Forums, We learned that there are Eight Species of Pangolins. Four species in Africa and Four other species in the Asia listed below;
1. Chinese Pangolin   Manis pentadactyla
2. Sunda Pangolin - Manis javanica
3. Indian Pangolin - Manis crasscaudata
4. Philippine Pangolin - Manis culionensis
5. White Bellied Pangon - Phataginus tricuspis
6. Black Bellied Pangolin - Phataginus tetrapadactyla
7. Temminck Ground Pangolin - Smutsia temminckii
8. Giant Ground Pangolin - Smutsia gigantea

I propose to the volunteers in different areas in the Ecosystem, as we monitored all other species both Endangered, Critically endangered and Vulnerable species. Its really great we collect data of this critically Endangered species on earth.

Mission to go Greener in our schools and Mara Ecosystem to be clean and green. Lives flourish when trees breathed we breath also a fresh air.



We can stop Desertification on our Planet Earth if we all come together and plants Trees? For a person to breath you need 10 Trees, How many Trees do we need to satisfied 7 Billions population of People leave a long with other species?

We have also installed Biogas, to a Maasai Village to safe dangers of Homestead owners to frequently walk to fetch firewoods and endangering the lives due to Wild Animals in the Wildness.
