Summary
Measurable reduction in demand for illegally traded pangolin products amongst Chinese nationals visiting Thailand, achieved through developing and piloting an evidence-based approach to change consumer behaviour, which can subsequently be used as a model to reduce demand for pangolin products in additional key markets.
Over 600 arrests and more than 500 convictions in wildlife crime since 2017, alongside a decline in ivory trafficking cases and an increase in elephant and rhino populations.
