Pangolin Species Identification and Reference Materials

Welcome to the USAID Pangolin Species Identification and Reference Materials

Despite a ban on international trade by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), pangolins are still one of the most trafficked mammals in the world. As a result, each of the eight species is now threatened with extinction. The USAID Pangolin Species Identification materials were developed to reverse this trend by assisting law enforcement officers identify pangolins in trade, including body parts and scales.
