The IUCN SSC Pangolin Specialist Group is a voluntary network of experts from around the world including field biologists, social scientists, zoologists, veterinarians, ecologists and geneticists, all of whom are actively involved in pangolin research and conservation.
The IUCN SSC Pangolin Specialist Group is a voluntary network of experts from around the world including field biologists, social scientists, zoologists, veterinarians, ecologists and geneticists, all of whom are actively involved in pangolin research and conservation.We are an advisory body to IUCN and currently have around 100 members from 25 countries around the globe.
The Pangolin Specialist Group was re-established in February 2012 in recognition of the widespread threats to pangolins globally and to address the lack of understanding of the species and their conservation needs.
Our Mission
The Pangolin Specialist Group’s mission is to:
To work within the framework of the IUCN SSC to secure a future for wild pangolins through advancing knowledge on pangolin status, threats and conservation priorities, and by catalysing action to conserve them.
Objectives
The Pangolin Specialist Group’s overarching objective is to serve as leaders in pangolin conservation globally by:
- Assessing the conservation status of pangolins for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
- Providing advice to IUCN and other conservation stakeholders
- Catalysing and undertaking scientific research to learn more about pangolins, the nature and severity of their threats, and to devise appropriate conservation actions
- Contributing to multilateral environmental agreements on pangolin related issues (e.g. CITES)
- Developing global conservation strategies and supporting the development of species-specific, national and regional conservation strategies
- Providing technical support to pangolin research and conservation projects and advising on captive husbandry, rescue and release protocols.
