- Abstract
Also shown are protected areas (dark grey polygons; UNEP-WCMC and IUCN, 2021), forest cover >15% (olive green; Hansen/UMD/Google/USGS/NASA; Hansen et al., 2013), and current northern range extents for giant pangolin (purple line), white-bellied pangolin (dark blue line) and black-bellied pangolin (light blue line; IUCN, 2021). Three species of pangolin occur in West Africa (IUCN, 2021), which include the two small arboreal species, the white-bellied and black-bellied pangolins ( I Phataginus tricuspis i and I Phataginus tetradactyla i , respectively), and the fossorial giant pangolin ( I Smutsia gigantea i ). While a few studies have now investigated the local uses of pangolins in several West African countries, knowledge on the distribution and local uses of pangolins remains limited in the western-most countries (e.g. Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Sierra Leone), at the periphery of currently reported pangolin distributions. Mali borders several pangolin range countries and is currently not listed as a pangolin range state on the IUCN Red List.
