The man saving the 'world's most trafficked mammal'
Growing up in Vietnam, Thai witnessed a mother and baby pangolin being caught and killed by neighbours in his village.
Since then he's dedicated his life to stopping poaching and educating the Vietnamese public about the importance of pangolin conservation.
His partnerships with the government, scientists, veterinarians, and fellow activists has meant that over 1,500 pangolins have been rescued since he founded Save Vietnam's Wildlife in 2014.
