Led by a team of editors with more than 20 years collective experience in pangolin conservation, this book includes accounts of the species鈥?evolution, morphology, and systematics. It discusses the role of pangolins in historically symbolic, mythological, and ritualistic practices across Africa, Asia, and Europe, as well as contemporary practices including international trafficking.
