The tides may finally be turning for Pangolins, often referred to as one of the most exploited creatures on Earth. In a move that's sending waves through conservation communities, China has announced that it will remove Guilingji, a traditional medicine containing pangolin ingredients, from its official 2025 Pharmacopoeia. The decision, confirmed in the revised edition released on the 25th of March, signals a significant step forward in wildlife protection and aligns with a growing global push to end the use of endangered animals in medicine. And the news couldn't have come at a more poetic time. Just as China makes headlines for moving away from pangolin-based remedies, a breathtaking South African documentary is climbing the Netflix charts. Kulu: The Pangolin's Journey (now in the global top 10) follows the tender and courageous path of a rescued pangolin being nursed back to health and returned to the wild. The film is beautiful. Heart-wrenching. Hopeful. And utterly unforgettable. It tells the story of these shy, scale-covered animals, often called the real-life dragons of the natural world, and the humans fighting for their survival.
