Martial arts superstar and wildlife champion Jackie Chan is calling for an end to consuming pangolin products in a new public service announcement for WildAid and The Nature Conservancy.
Jackie Chan Fights To Save Pangolins
The 47 second video spot was released last week to support a ban on all international trade in pangolins that was approved last year under the Un Cites treaty.
