pangolin 穿山甲

• habitat
  • Habitat: grass in the piedmont area or more humid hill miscellaneous thickets, digging holes to live, mostly built holes in the soil zone. Distribution: Pangolin is distributed in some countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, and different pangolin species are distributed in different countries. 栖息地：山麓地带的草丛中或较潮湿的丘陵杂灌丛， 挖洞居住，多筑洞于泥土地带。 分布范围：穿山甲分布在东南亚及非洲的部分国家， 不同的穿山甲种类分布国家不同。
• why in danger
  • Pangolins are a class A protected animal because they are one of the few mammals in the world with scales all over their body.Some people think their scales can be used as medicine, and others think their meat tastes delicious. Therefore, the demand for medicinal materials and profit from smuggling are the main reasons for illegal pangolin hunting. There are many reasons for pangolins to become endangered from large population. Excessive deforestation, habitat loss and increased population density are the core factors of pangolin population decline; Commercial use, of course, is the biggest manmade factor, especially during the mass culling of the 1950s and 1980s. 身为国家一级保护动物，因为穿山甲是世界上为数不多全身长满鳞片的哺乳动物。 因有些人以为它们的鳞片可入药，还有些人认为它们的肉味道鲜美。 因此药材需求和走私牟利 是穿山甲非法猎杀的主要原因。 穿山甲从种群庞大到走向濒危，原因是多方面的， 过度砍伐，栖息地的丧失和人口密度的增加，是穿山甲数量减少的核心因素； 而商业用途自然是最大的人为因素，尤其是上世纪50-80年代的大规模捕杀。
• appearance
  • Terrestrial mammals. The body is long and narrow, the limbs are thick and short, the tail is flat and long, the back side is slightly raised, the body surface is cutin scales. The skull is cylindrical with a long snout tip, toothless and a well-developed tongue. Long claws, especially long forefoot middle toe claws, used for digging ant burrows. 地栖性哺乳动物。体形狭长，四肢粗短，尾扁平而长， 背面略隆起，体表被角质鳞甲。头骨呈筒状， 吻尖长，无牙齿而舌甚发达。 爪长，尤其是前足中趾爪特长，用以挖掘蚁类洞穴。
• diet 饮食
  • Pangolins mainly feed on termites, but also on ants and their larvae, bees, wasps and other insect larvae. They eat a lot. An adult pangolin′s stomach can hold up to 500 grams of termites. According to the observation of scientists, in 250 mu of woodland, as long as there is an adult pangolin, termites will not cause harm to the forest, visible pangolin in the protection of forests, DAMS, maintaining ecological balance, human health and other aspects have a great role. 穿山甲其主要食物为白蚁，此外也食蚁及其幼虫、蜜蜂、胡蜂和其它昆虫幼虫等，食量很大， 一只成年穿山甲的胃，最多可以容纳500克白蚁。 据科学家观察，在250亩林地中，只要有一只成年穿山甲，白蚁就不会对森林造成危害， 可见穿山甲在保护森林、堤坝，维护生态平衡、人类健康等方面都有很大的作用。
    • The increasing scarcity of pangolins has led to termite excesses The ecological balance has been seriously damagedIts main role is to help humans destroy termites that harm trees and DAMS 穿山甲的逐渐稀缺，导致了白蚁的放肆 生态平衡遭到严重破坏 它的主要作用倒是帮助人类消灭危害林木和堤坝的白蚁
• population
  • Between 117,000 and 234,000 pangolins were killed worldwide between 2011 and 2013 alone, according to WWF. About 300,000 pangolins are consumed in China every year, and more may be consumed in recent years, with 95% of pangolins coming from abroad. Overall, the proportion of edible and medicinal products is 50%, and the proportion of edible products exceeds that of medicinal products in recent years. Statistics show that from 2009 to 2014, 7.25 tons of pangolin pieces were imported into China from other Asian countries and Africa. According to statistics on the illegal trade of pangolin in China from 1999 to 2017, there were about 394 known cases of illegal trade in pangolin. In 2018 alone, a total of 38.14 tons of pangolin scales were seized by six Customs offices in China, which means about 60,000 pangolins were killed. Most of them are African pangolins. The number of the main species, the Chinese pangolin, has been declining regularly, by 94 per cent in the past 60 years. The animal is described as "critically endangered" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature′s (IUCN) Red List. 据世界自然基金统计，仅在2011至2013年，全球就有11.7万至23.4万只穿山甲被捕杀。 我国每年穿山甲的消耗量约30万只，近几年可能更多，其中95%的穿山甲来自国外。 整体而言，食用和药用的比例各50%，近几年食用的比例超过了药用。 相关统计数据显示，2009-2014年，亚洲其他国家和非洲有7.25吨穿山甲甲片流入中国。 对1999-2017年国内穿山甲非法贸易情况进行统计发现，已知的穿山甲非法贸易案件约394起。 仅2018年，国内6个海关就共查获走私穿山甲鳞片38.14吨，这意味着约有6万只穿山甲惨遭杀戮， 其中大部分是非洲穿山甲。 主要品种——中国穿山甲的数量一直在有规律的减少，在过去60年中减少了94%. 在国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）的红色名录中，这种动物被称为“极度濒危”
    • Pangolins are in rapid decline
• Finally, it is everyone′s responsibility to protect pangolins, No sale, no harm, starting with me, And a peaceful and warm home for pangolins, Let our children and grandchildren know that many years from now there will still be an animal called pangolin, It′s not extinct, it′s always lived in our world. 最后呼吁大家，保护穿山甲人人有责， 没有买卖就没有伤害，从我做起， 还穿山甲一个安静和平的温暖家园， 让我们的子孙后代，知道在很多年以后还有一种动物叫穿山甲， 它没有灭绝，一直生活在我们这个世界。
• Recent scientific studies have shown that the scales are mainly made of keratin (the same ingredient as human fingernails and rhino horn), and there is no scientific evidence that pangolin tablets have medicinal value. 最新科学研究已表明，鳞片的主要成分是角蛋白 （与人类的指甲及犀牛角相同的成分）， 没有科学证据能够证明穿山甲片具有药用价值。
