Hunting and sale of Pangolins across Sub-Saharan Africa: a preliminary analysis
report
posted on 2023-06-09, 00:07 authored by Daniel J Ingram, Lauren Coad, Jorn P W ScharlemannPangolins (Pholidota: Manidae) are hunted and traded for their meat and scales. We conducted preliminary analyses on the hunting and sale at markets of four species of pangolin across Sub-Saharan Africa based on data from the OFFTAKE database. Our analyses show that all four species of African pangolin are hunted and sold at markets throughout much of Sub-Saharan Africa. The proportion of pangolins as part of the total vertebrates hunted has increased significantly during the 43 years, from 1972-2014, for which we have data.
