项目摘要

Pangolins are the most heavily trafficked mammals in the illegal wildlife trade. All four Asianpangolin species are listed as either Critically Endangered or Endangered on the IUCN RedList due to past, present and predicted population declines which are driven by the growingdemand for pangolin parts and products. The Philippine pangolin (Manis culionensis) isendemic to the island of Palawan in the Philippines and is arguably the least known of all thepangolin species, with limited population data available. Population declines of >50% arepredicted but we have little knowledge on the local or international threats placed upon thisspecies, or even of the effectiveness of different research methods to gather baseline data toinform its conservation. This project will therefore assess the ability of a series of different,complementary methods to gather conservation-relevant data for the Philippine pangolin. Itwill inform conservation biology by building an evidence-base from which to provide the firstrobust assessment of the Philippine pangolin's conservation status, but with widerapplication through the development of an integrated methodological toolkit suitable forinvestigating the status of other poorly-known threatened species. It will also provideconservation planners with new data on the anthropogenic threats this species faces fromthe illegal wildlife trade in order to help prioritise conservation action.

穿山甲是非法野生动物贸易中贩运最严重的哺乳动物。所有四种亚洲穿山甲物种都被列为极危或濒危物种，因为过去，现在和预测的人口下降是由对穿山甲部分和产品的需求增长驱动的。菲律宾穿山甲（Manis culionensis）是菲律宾巴拉望岛的特有种，可以说是所有穿山甲物种中最不为人所知的，只有有限的人口数据。据预测，种群数量将下降50%以上，但我们对该物种面临的当地或国际威胁知之甚少，甚至对收集基线数据以告知其保护的不同研究方法的有效性也知之甚少。因此，该项目将评估一系列不同的互补方法收集菲律宾穿山甲保护相关数据的能力。通过建立一个证据基础，为菲律宾穿山甲的保护状况提供第一次快速评估，这为保护生物学提供了信息，但通过开发一个适合于调查其他鲜为人知的受威胁物种状况的综合方法工具包，它具有更广泛的应用。它还将为保护计划者提供有关该物种面临非法野生动物贸易的人为威胁的新数据，以帮助优先考虑保护行动。
