Pangolin Scales Seized in Marringue

On September 17, 2024, a man from Maríngue was apprehended, in collaboration with local authorities, while in possession of 3 kg of pangolin scales, which he was attempting to sell at an exorbitant price. The operation led to the successful confiscation of the scales, and the individual is now facing legal consequences.

Efforts to combat the illegal trade of pangolin products are crucial for the species' survival, as the continued exploitation of these animals puts them at significant risk of extinction. By intercepting illegal sales, authorities aim to protect pangolin populations and discourage further poaching activities.
