Pangolins are the most widely traded species in the illegal wildlife trade in Asia
Populations of Sunda Pangolin in Southeast Asia are thought to have been reduced by more than 50% in the last 15 years due to high levels of hunting for medicinal purposes. In fact, Pangolins are one of the most prized animals in the illegal wildlife trade. In the wild, the secretive Sunda Pangolins are rarely observed during their nightly forages for ants and termites. Clear population estimates are lacking, but Sunda Pangolins are confiscated regularly from poachers and thus must still occur over wide areas of Cambodia, especially in the Cardamom Mountains as well as in the forests of Mondulkiri’s Eastern Plains Landscape.
