Pangolins, native to Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, are believed to be the most trafficked animals in the world. Their scales are a common ingredient in traditional Asian medicines, and their meat is considered a luxury food in many cultures.

"This decision will help give pangolins a fighting chance," Susan Lieberman of the Wildlife Conservation Society said in a statement from Johannesburg.
"These species need extra protection, and under CITES Appendix I, they will get it," she added.
Pangolins feed on ants and termites, using their claws to break into nests and their long, sticky tongues to lap up insects.
When a predator approaches, they roll up into a ball, with their scaly exterior protecting pangolins from the fangs of larger creatures. Sadly, this ball-rolling approach only makes it easier for poachers to snatch them.
A CITES subcommittee voted late last week to move pangolins into Appendix I from Appendix II, a less stringent designation that allows for some controlled levels of trade, so long as it doesn't threaten the species' survival.
The final CITES category, Appendix III, includes species that are protected in at least one country that has asked other nations to help control the trade.
Pangolins' change in status will become official if confirmed during the summit's plenary session this week. It would then enter into force 90 days later.
Wildlife experts estimate that more than 1 million pangolins have been traded illegally in the past decade -- despite earlier efforts to halt the poaching and illegal trade of these nocturnal mammals.

Credit: JEKESAI NJIKIZANA/AFP/Getty Images CITES established a "zero annual export quota" for Asian pangolin species in 2000, and many countries in Africa and Asia with pangolin populations have already adopted domestic laws to prohibit the capture and trade of pangolins.
In the United States, one species of pangolin, the Temminck's ground pangolin, is listed as "endangered" under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
But as Asian pangolin species become harder to find, due to dwindling populations and the zero export quota, traders are turning to African pangolin species to meet market demand, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The haul, worth $1.25 million (HK$9.8 million), was estimated to represent between 1,100 and 6,600 pangolins.
Pangolins don't generally thrive in captivity, and they have a slow reproductive rate and low natural population density in the wild. As poachers snatch rising numbers of pangolins and urban development destroys their habitats, the mammals are increasingly nearing extinction, conservation groups have warned.
