Our goal at Pangolin.Africa is to make Eye Of The Pangolin one of the most widely watched wildlife documentaries ever. If enough people learn to care for this animal, there is a chance that it can be saved. So please share this film with everyone you believe will be touched by this magical creature. If we don’t do something now, the illegal wildlife trade to the east will ensure that pangolins will disappear from the planet within the next 10-20 years.
The film is directed and narrated by Bruce Young, co-director of the award-winning Blood Lions documentary.
Due to the sensitive nature of some of the content on the film, we would recommend an age limit of 13 years or older.

Moral of the story: Look after nature, if not expect consequences.
-
I grew up hearing tales of this lovely creature while growing up in my home town of Limpopo, my people Tsonga find it very mythical that when spotted there is legend that it will not rain for a year and it spelled drought, therefore no mention should be made of the animal I think the reason for this is because they thrive in dry arid areas that they are associated with. This made me more interested in researching about them. Further heartbreak was when I heard that they are on a brink of extinction. I think more education is needed in rural communities is needed to educate people that there is nothing mythical about this animal species and this is where I come in with the research I got.

14:56 made me cry to see how much he loved her and tell about her death. Such level of dedication and love simply heartwarming!
-
Hunt the poachers, sick and tired of poachers killing animals!!
-
I applaud the commitment and courage of everyone involved in protecting the pangolin. Kudos to the makers of this high quality film and their team. Sharing.
-
This is heartbreaking - how will we ever change man's behaviour - the greed, ignorance and stupidity. It is so important to share this, to create awareness far and wide, to encourage people to protect these incredible, sensitive creatures. Thank you for making this film.

It’s time to write the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF ANIMAL RIGHTS. It should be enacted by United Nations, and enforced by all countries.
-
We have so much thermide mounts and ants in outback Australia. Perhaps we should introduce pangolin to Australia.
-
They have such a beautiful little face!
-
Everything in this world are destroyed by mans own hand..
-
I have been very fortunate to interact and see many pangolins. I was luckily enough to assist in raising one a few years back and successfully released into Sabl Sands. As an artist I draw them a lot to inform people of their plight. Keep up the great work!
-
Two years later I return. Still in love and very much an advocate for these incredibly docile amazing creatures. They are being exploited every where. Year of the PAGONLIN accompanied by the DOG yeah baby.
-
Thank you for creating this enlightening film! I had no idea what versatile and multitalented creatures Pangolin are! Very grateful to the heroes devoted to protecting the species from the horrific poaching that’s going on. Hoping full heartedly that they can make a recovery 🤞🏻

It's been on my bucket list to photograph them for some years in several parts of the world i've traveled and i've know about their plight due to illegal trade / poaching to satiate the misguided and unproven superstitious Chinese medicine trade. This being said watching this documentary moved me greatly. I'm grateful for the passion and work the many people do to help prevent this and i'm ashamed to be part of a race responsible for the likely extinction in our lifetime of an 80 million year species along with many others. It's almost hard to comprehend how in this day an age of modern science and education, that some cultures can hang onto 1,400 year old superstitions that are not only unproven but are directly the cause of the extinction of the very most prized ingredients they want.

Its a shame for us wildlife lovers that this video is not getting more attention as it deserves, do share it more! 🙏
-
Before the Wuhan coronavirus I had never heard of this animal. I am both sad and angry to learn that these innocent and ecologically useful creatures are being poached to extinction.
-
Pangolin has been on my wish list of mammals of Southern Africa for many years, but still remains a "wish" sighting. Thanks for the beautifully documented film, highlighting their plight. I have already shared with many.
-
Thank you so much for this educational story. I wish I was 20 years younger so I could help.
-
Bruce and Johan, congrats on producing a very important film. This not often thought about creature needs to be protected and hopefully through your efforts perhaps we are one step closer to doing so.Thank you .
