For The Pangolins - ZAPFIC50 MONDAY (8/21/23) | Prompt: platform (plataforma) [Eng/Esp]

It's time for the ZAPFIC50 Monday challenge. This new challenge by @felt-buzz. presented the opportunity to explore the prompt this week "platform". I've always thought of the word as being a mouthpiece, a space where a person can present their views or get their message across to a wider audience.
My story is below:

The last Pangolin pair peered from the bush.
The scene unfolded. Poachers ambushed preservationists, as they broadcasted efforts to the WWF.
Although frightened, they huddled but the valuable meat they possessed was protected from predators by their scales as nature intended.
They could not escape their most dangerous predator: Man.

...Ha llegado la hora del reto de los lunes de ZAPFIC50. Este nuevo reto de @felt-buzz. nos brinda la oportunidad de explorar el tema de esta semana: "plataforma". Siempre he pensado en la palabra como un portavoz, un espacio donde una persona puede presentar sus puntos de vista o transmitir su mensaje a un público más amplio.
A continuación mi historia.

Por los pangolines
La última pareja de pangolines se asomó desde la maleza.
La escena se desarrollaba. Los cazadores furtivos tendieron una emboscada a los conservacionistas, mientras transmitían sus esfuerzos al WWF.
Aunque asustados, se acurrucaron, pero la valiosa carne que poseían estaba protegida de los depredadores por sus escamas, como pretendía la naturaleza.
No pudieron escapar de su depredador más peligroso: El hombre.

What are pangolins? It's a new thing to me.
Animals with hard scales that are kin to the armadillo. They are an endangered species.
Did you really put that on your head?
Were you not scared when you did so?
That's an image from Pixabay. I wanted to portray a preservationist protecting animals.
