Study finds pangolins in Nigeria mainly hunted for meat, not scales, challenging anti-trafficking focus.
A new study reveals that in Nigeria, pangolins, the world's most trafficked mammals, are mainly hunted for their meat rather than their scales.
While scales are often traded internationally for traditional medicine, the research, based on surveys in southeast Nigeria, shows that 98% of captured pangolins are for local meat consumption.
This challenges the focus on anti-trafficking measures alone and suggests promoting alternative food sources to protect pangolins.
