species found in Kenya that are targeted by the demand in the Asia, As the research shows that Pangolins are the most Trafficked Mammal on earth due to black Market demand.
Using the Citizen Science model, We approached the Community volunteers to trained them in different villages on how to take data in the field about any species they come a across in unprotected area near their villages, since the Formation of Maa Silver Research of Flora and Fauna in Maasai Mara in 2011, local Maasai Youth who join this volunteering youth group for nature become Professional Guides now in Many different company and working in the field conserved as they led Tourists in the Ecosystem by contributing Data to the Village Center.
Through Community Forums, We learned that there are Eight Species of Pangolins. Four species in Africa and Four other species in the Asia listed below;
1. Chinese Pangolin Manis pentadactyla
2. Sunda Pangolin - Manis javanica
3. Indian Pangolin - Manis crasscaudata
4. Philippine Pangolin - Manis culionensis
5. White Bellied Pangon - Phataginus tricuspis
6. Black Bellied Pangolin - Phataginus tetrapadactyla
7. Temminck Ground Pangolin - Smutsia temminckii
8. Giant Ground Pangolin - Smutsia gigantea
I propose to the volunteers in different areas in the Ecosystem, as we monitored all other species both Endangered, Critically endangered and Vulnerable species. Its really great we collect data of this critically Endangered species on earth.
