Abstract

Decision directed to Parties

Pangolin range States should implement pangolin population monitoring and management, ideally based on a pangolin action plan if available, at the site or national level to facilitate robust population assessments, where needed drawing upon available guidance from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) Pangolin Specialist Group (PSG), as well as additional resources related to population monitoring produced by the PSG.
