Answer- C
The 12th edition of World Pangolin Day is observed annually on the third Saturday in February, falling on February 18 this year.
The day aims to celebrate and remember pangolins, raise awareness about their conservation, and combat the illegal trade and capture of pangolins in Africa and Asia.
These magnificent creatures, hunted for their scales, skin, blood, and even foetuses, have been heavily harvested from the wild, with an estimated one million pangolins affected by this global trade. Fashion, traditional medicine, and cookery are some of the industries driving this demand.
