A framework for the ethical use of animal‐borne devices in post‐release monitoring following rehabilitation Open
Rehabilitation and release contribute to conservation efforts for threatened species. Ensuring that these efforts are effective requires a good understanding of the factors which determine survival and integration of released animals into …

The Pangolin Universal Notching System: a scale-marking methodology for pangolins Open
Despite thousands of individuals entering the illegal wildlife trade each year, assessments of pangolin populations are largely non-existent, even in areas with high exploitation and limited personnel and field equipment. Although pangolin…

Classification of African ground pangolin behaviour based on accelerometer readouts: validation of bio-logging methods Open
Background Understanding how free-ranging animals behave can help in the design of optimal management strategies to both conserve species and enable individuals to express natural behaviours, maximising welfare. Animal-borne accelerometers…

Non‐fatal removal of ground pangolin (<i>Smutsia temminckii</i> Smuts, 1832) tracking devices by predators Open
The ground pangolin ( Smutsia temminckii Smuts 1832) is vulnerable to extinction due to poaching and trafficking. Recovery of pangolins from the trade and subsequent rehabilitation and release form a core component of pangolin conservation…

Taking a stand against illegal wildlife trade: the Zimbabwean approach to pangolin conservation Open
Pangolins are increasingly threatened by demand for their scales, which are used in traditional medicines, and for their meat, which is consumed as a luxury. As populations of Asian pangolins decline, the demand is shifting to the four spe…
