We are pleased to update the story about the EC21 website: The company has removed the rhino horn and pangolin scale advertisements.
EC21 informed me that each of the 14 advertisements have been deleted (yes, they’re gone) Thank you, EC21!
THANK YOU to everyone who helped bring attention to this story by tweeting, emailing, messaging, and sharing our previous blog post about the rhino horn and pangolin scale adverts — and to EC21 for their concern. Together, we made a difference by closing another door to wildlife cybercriminals.

I am the founder of Annamiticus and I have been researching and writing about wildlife trafficking issues since 2009. I also founded World Pangolin Day in 2012. I am the author of USAID Wildlife Asia's Pangolin Species Identification Guide: A Rapid Assessment Tool for Field and Desk. I co-facilitated and was a presenter at the USAID Wildlife Asia Pangolin Care Workshop. At the 4th Regional Dialogue on Combating Trafficking of Wild Fauna and Flora, I facilitated the species roundtables on pangolins. I have trekked with forest rangers in Cambodia, journeyed to the streets of Hanoi to research the illegal wildlife trade, and to the rainforests of Sumatra and Java to document the world’s rarest rhinos. At CITES meetings, I collaborate with colleagues from around the world to lobby in favor of protecting endangered species. I hosted the Behind the Schemes podcast and am the author of the book Murder, Myths & Medicine. I enjoy music, desert gardening, herping, reading, creating, and walking with my dogs.
