Pangolins are largely covered in scales made of keratin-the same material found in human fingernails. Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal in the world, and you’ve probably never heard of them. They are trafficked by the thousands for their scales, which are boiled off their bodies for use in traditional medicine; for their meat, which is a high-end delicacy in Vietnam and in China; and for their blood, which is considered to be a healing tonic.

Veterinarian Chris Barton of Vets for Compassion carries eucalyptus browse into a destroyed eucalyptus tree plantation where surviving koalas perch high in trees. The fresh eucalyptus is tied to the base of trees which lures them down, at which point the rescuers and vets can catch the koala and assess them for injuries. If the animals are kept for rehabilitation, they will later be released to the wild.
