FIU is leading Operation Pangolin, an international collaboration to save the world’s most trafficked wild mammal, which is globally endangered. Little is known of the trafficking supply chains that move at least 250,000 pangolins – the world’s only scaly mammal – out of African and Asian forests to consumers in China, Vietnam and elsewhere every year. FIU researchers are helping develop solutions to the crisis.
