Cameroon, 15 Dec 2022
3 traffickers arrested with 120 kg pangolin scales. Two of them were activating several poachers generating a regular massive killing of pangolins. One of the traffickers used his motorcycle to transport the scales. They are experienced in trafficking pangolin scales and complained that the Covid 19 pandemic hampered their activity, but they were quickly picking up where they left off before the pandemic started. The area is widely known for the illicit bushmeat trade.
