Pangolin: The world's most trafficked animal is still endangered in Tanzania

The anti-poaching fight that the world waged against the ivory trade has phenomenally reduced elephant poaching and revived its population in Tanzania.

 The widely reported case of 2019, Yang Fenglan, the Chinese lady who was convicted of ivory trafficking, is a prime example of the efforts. According to the international wildlife trade treaty, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), pangolins rank among the most trafficked animals in the world.
