Poaching And Wildlife Trafficking Is Running Rampa..

Poaching and wildlife trafficking is running rampant to fuel the illegal trade in wildlife and wildlife products, with an estimated value of up to $23 billion annually. And one of the animals most threatened by trafficking is the pangolin. These elusive mammals are covered in hard keratin scales, but their best natural defenses haven’t protected them from poachers: an estimated one million pangolins were poached in ten years, with 195,000 trafficked in 2019 for their scales alone.
