Taiwan: the pangolin’s last stand?
The shy, enigmatic scaly ant eater finds its final refuge in Taiwan during the age of its worldwide extinction
By Gregory McCann / Contributing reporter
Who would have thought that Taiwan just over 100km from China and a few hundred kilometers away from Vietnam, which are the world’s first and second biggest consumers of pangolin scales would become the last beacon of hope for this imperiled species? In fact, pangolins from sub-species in Africa all the way down to Indonesia are the world’s most highly trafficked mammal.
Thought to cure anything from HIV to hangovers, ground pangolin scales and pangolin soup (the photos online are difficult to stomach) are expensive delicacies in Vietnam and China, and the rarer the species becomes, the more it is sought after because it is going extinct creating a dreadful vicious cycle propelling the animal into oblivion.
