PC24017Conservation, trade and (lack of) management of Sunda pangolins in Bali and Lombok
Pangolins are the most trafficked mammal globally and are the poster child of the illegal wildlife trade. We focused on the Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok and found Sunda pangolins to be uncommon but widespread, with little evidence of trade. Although small, these two islands on the easternmost edge of the species distribution may turn out to be strongholds for their conservation.
