Title:

Pangolin trafficking: Iceberg tip of Nigeria's illegal trade revealed

Publication Year:
2021
Abstract:

Since the first reported pangolin seizure in Nigeria in 2010, the country has seen an explosion in the black market for the world's most trafficked mammal - becoming Africa's hub for the criminal export of pangolin products to East Asia. Use of pangolin scales in traditional Chinese medicines has resulted in Asian species declining dramatically this century.
