The most trafficked animal in the world
“Eye of the Pangolin” concentrates on the hugely increased impact of illegal trafficking of African pangolins and their scales to meet demand from Asian markets and consumers. In April this year, the biggest ever single seizure of pangolin scales was made in Singapore: 26 tons of scales en route to Vietnam from Nigeria, worth an estimated $77 million.
What products are made from pangolins?
Their meat is considered a delicacy and pangolin scales are used in traditional medicine and folk remedies to treat a range of ailments from asthma to rheumatism and arthritis. There is also demand in the Americas for their skins used to make leather products like boots, bags, and belts.
