A Scaly Story — In Search Of The Strangest And Most Threatened Animal On Earth

‘Stories are instruments of power, just like maps of a territory. People who colour in the universe with roads and borders, characters and scenes are the creators of culture, and soon afterwards, the guardians of a desired order. Pangolins often arrive on the scene in a story when a community needs to be held together.’
