Literature Library
Welcome to the IUCN SSC PangolinSG’s literature library. Although pangolins remain little studied species, scientific literature on the species, their ecology, trade and conservation has increased over the years. We present a comprehensive collection of literature below, organized into the categories of CITES and enforcement, conservation action, demand, ecology, forensics, husbandry, phylogeny, trade and use, and veterinary health.
Use the drop-down menu below to explore our library. For publications that are freely available or open access, we have provided a link to view the publication.
