Pakistan’s pangolins fall victim to Chinese demand

It will take years of research and even then some species are incredibly difficult to work with, because of their complex natures

Exactly ... R&D = Time + Money + Dedication

This is so sad, Pakistan must do all it can to protect its animal treasures.

Once they are gone they gone for good.

Pakistan is surrounded by 3 hostile nations our position(for now) is only to protect our nation and interests. It's the modern form of Sparta

Exactly ... R&D = Time + Money + Dedication

Again we arent in such a position. Need to protect the people first. Their genes should be mapped and stored, though. Just incase.

It's illegal to hunt, eat or possess pangolins in China, poaching and selling pangolins will result in prison terms

To protect people is prime responsibility ... just came across a news article and regretted that since last 70 years we even could not produce anti-rabies vaccination even with high rate of dog biting incidents in Pakistan and our so called champions of democracy were busy in stuffing money overseas.

Considering they are 1.5 billion Chinese and a few thousand of these lions, rhinos, pangolins - who should exactly be consuming whom to boost their populations?

If all countries can impose harsh and relentless Chinese animal protection laws, the wild lives might have a chance, almost all critically endangered animal species are all on the sharp rise now in China, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, elephants, pandas... because pandas now are so numerous many suggest that the goverenment take it off the highly endangered list.
