People are raising awareness for pangolins and they are fighting to save the pangolin from extinction They provide coordination and support to save the pangolin from extinction.

One reason people know about but aren't really doing something about Pangolins is that they don't get anything from stopping the hunting, while they get very fancy accessories with the hunting. A way to stop the hunting and have people actually do things would be to give out a reward to anyone who helps. It is human nature to do something that would give them a prize, a bigger prize than the prize of pangolin products. Many people would stop hunting and buying if they are given a very large amount of money, more than can be made with hunting and buying pangolin products

There are many different relationships in the pangolins habitat. All of the animals interact to survive.

The first relationship is a predatory relationship.This is the most common relationship. Every animal in its ecosystem has one. A predatory relationship is the relationship between prey and predator. For example, a pangolin and an ant have a predatory relationship because pangolins eat ants.

The second relationship is a mutually beneficial relationship. A mutually beneficial relationships is when one animal helps another one. One relationship is between the acacia tree and the ant. The bottom of the acacia tree stump provides a home for ants. While the ants protect the tree from predators by irritating them.

The final relationship is a competitive relationship. A competitive relationship is when two animals compete for mates, food, water, etc. An example of a competitive relationship is between an acacia tree and grass. The acacia tree and grass compete for water.

Those are examples of relationships in the pangolins habitat.

The Sun gives energy to the oil palms, bromeliads, etc. Those are producers.Then different first stage consumers such as ants and termites eat the plants for energy. After that, the pangolins eat the ants and termites. After that, second stage consumers like lions and tigers eat the pangolin. Finally, decomposers such as certain fungi, decompose the living things when they die.

Human impact on the pangolins ecosystem by chopping down its home(trees) this causes bad air and also they have nowhere to live. Cars using fuel, waste dumping in its water and over hunting the pangolin effects the ecosystem a lot by polluting the area. The pangolin species are protected and in the wild but that is not stopping the international illegal trade using pangolins, which has grown in past years because of illegal hunters.

Pangolins are mostly hunted for their meat, scales, and blood. The meat is believed to cure almost any disease and the scales and skin are made into accessories. Pangolin products are about 20% of the entire black market.

The pangolin's ecosystem is made up of many living and nonliving components that interact with one another in different ways.

Some living components in the pangolin's ecosystem include trees, pythons, leopards, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobo apes, and antelopes. Apart from the living components, the pangolin's ecosystem has many nonliving components.

The nonliving components in the pangolins ecosystem are sunlight, water, climate, and soil. These are the living and nonliving components of the pangolin's ecosystem.

To wrap it up both nonliving and living things are important for the ecosystem to thrive. Without any nonliving or living components, the whole ecosystem would fall apart.

There are a lot of ways we help the pangolin. To start, people recycle, which is helpful because the pollution in that area is part of the problem that they are critically endangered. Also we use electronic greeting cards so the plane fuel doesn’t pollute the area. Finally, turning off the faucet when not using it so the water in the area doesn’t run out or almost run out helps positively impact the ecosystem.
