Why Pangolins Matter π‘️
Pangolins are often referred to as the "most trafficked mammals on the planet".

Kulu's Touching Story π₯
The documentary, directed by Oscar-winner Pippa Ehrlich, takes viewers on an emotional journey with Kulu as she heals and prepares for a return to the wild. It also sheds light on the challenges faced by conservationists and the hopeful rise in awareness through media storytelling.

Conservationists are optimistic that Netflix’s global reach will help curb the demand for pangolins, particularly in regions where consumption remains high. With documentaries like this, the goal is not just to entertain but also to educate and inspire action for wildlife protection.
