Phytogeography of the Sunda pangolin

 * habitat loss contributes to pangolin extinction - add to conservation section
 * Pangolins are considered one of the most highly trafficked mammal - add trafficked into first sentence of conservation
 * "all 8 species" were uplifted to CITES Appendix... - add how many species of pangolin there are to conservation
 * pangolins have the widest distribution among the four Asian pangolin species - add to behavior and ecology
 * add a wildlife trade section - hundreds to thousands have been killed for local consumption or the wildlife trade over the past few decades
 * possibly disease risk to humans, livestock, and other wildlife populations - add to health
 * complex geological experience and climate history, Pilo-Pleistocene played important role in shaping phytogeography of Sunda pangolin - add to behavior and ecology (?)

"investigating the use of...Sunda pangolin

 * add how they are one of the least understood mammals and how we know little about their behavior and ecology)
 * umwelt and sensation; how it affects pangolin behavior - add it behavior and ecology
 * growing need for conservationists developing endangered species strategies to gain greater knowledge of behavior and cognition - behavior and ecology or conservation
 * difficult to study species in the wild; usually die in captivity - conservation
 * research on the African tree pangolin suggests pangolin species have enlarged olfactory bulbs relative to other mammals, but non-remarkable visual and auditory systems; rely on olfaction and somatosensory info to find food - add to behavior and ecology
 * research on anatomy of eyes suggest it may be well adapted for the nocturnal environment - (?)

Recent Conservation

 * expand on the conservation efforts in captivity.
 * Sunda pangolin is nocturnal, so breeding efforts are difficult at best.
 * very little is known about their parenting habits.
 * Young pangolins that are still nursing do not do well on artificial milk.
 * very little is known about their growth and development.
 * The Sunda Pangolin is incredibly difficult to study due to its nocturnal nature and scarcity.

Expanding Cultural Uses

 * Traditional Chinese medicine uses the keratin scales and meat from the Sunda Pangolin for treatments.
 * The meat is considered a delicacy for indigenous groups.
 * The meat is also used as raw materials for drugs.
