I mean, yes this is cool … but they need to be getting at the root causes.

“Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.” —Chico Mendes.

Idk much about the specific situation other than quick wiki read, but sounds like poaching and deforestation are the main culprits. Yes this is an important step, but conservation needs to include protection of their habitat if this is going to be sustainable and not just a project to keep pandolins in zoos. Fuck the charismatic megafauna approach… stop destroying the habitats. Relieve economic pressure on citizens to help prevent poaching, and invest in strong systems of accountability and prevention.
