Join us in celebrating World Pangolin Day 2021 with Run for Pangolins, a virtual charity run. After a year that has made us all feel disconnected from each other, we are bringing together pangolin fans from around the globe with this virtual celebration.
On World Pangolin Day, February 20th, Charles Emogor will be running for eight hours straight in his legendary pangolin suit to raise funds and awareness for all eight species of pangolins.
Charles is a pangolin conservationist from Nigeria, completing his PhD at the University of Cambridge. His passion for pangolins is going to be turning heads this World Pangolin Day - and you can join him.
What can you do?
We encourage anyone to join - whether you're a serious runner, a walker, or just want to support Charles and pangolins from afar.
