Brookfield Zoo Wants To Save The ‘Most Trafficked Animal You’ve Never Heard About’
Update: 2018-08-27
Description
The pangolin is the world’s most trafficked mammal, according to a statement from the Pangolin Consortium.
More than a million of the scaly anteater-like animals have been poached over the past 10 years — for food in the illegal bushmeat trade, for Asian medicines, and for jewelry — across Africa and Southeast Asia. In response, the Chicago Zoological Society at Brookfield Zoo, along with five other American zoological institutions, created a consortium dedicated to protecting the pangolin in 2014.
