Species conservation planning is improved by the direct participation of local people that co-occur with the species of interest as they possess unique information based on their knowledge and experiences. We surveyed people living in suitable and unsuitable Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) habitat...
Sophia Zhang, director of the Pangolin Working Group at the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation, said that while she was pleased by the result, she felt it came “a bit late.” “Many years have passed. How many pangolins have already been hunted and killed?” she...
Conservation of Nature(IUCN) had classifed four species asvulnerable, two species—theIndian pangolin (M. crassicaudata) and thePhilippine pangolin (M. culionensis)—asendangered, and two species—theSunda, or Malayan, pangolin (M. javanica) and theChinese pangolin—ascritically endangered. Sodire...

We also find that pangolins spend the majority of their time (between 62 and 71%) at rest.The methods we present will enable the quantification of ground pangolin behaviour in the wild to improve our understanding of the species' ecology and help inform conservation efforts. This will also ...
as well as between representative species of the Carnivora and Pholidota. These maps demonstrate the conservation of such syntenic segment associations as HSA3/21, 4/8, 7/16, 12/22, 14/15 and 16/19 in Eulipotyphla, Pholidota and Xenarthra and thus further consolidate the notion that the...
