Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best method to rapidly stem the loss of pangolins is to use CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) to prohibit the sale and trade of pangolins. This strategy has been successful in reducing poaching and trafficking of other endangered animal species. It addresses the root cause of the problem by reducing the demand for pangolin products and has been recognized as one of the most effective approaches to conserving endangered species.
