Abstrak

In the present study, we summarize the status (seizures number, quantity, hotspot, trade rout & mode of transportation) of illegal trade of pangolin with seizures reported from 2009 to 2018 in India using available data from print and electronic media. Over the last decade ca.119 pangolin seizures were recorded and it is estimated that ca.7500 individuals perished in a decade. It is concluded that in India its north-eastern part is the hub of trade of pangolins. From, here it moves into China and Myanmar though road and postal services.
