Global trafficking of pangolin scales, elephant ivory plummets post-pandemic

The analysis noted that seizures remarkably plummeted after two major consignments of pangolin scales were intercepted within days of each other in 2020. Authorities in Singapore seized approximately 25 tonnes of pangolin scales in two separate operations, while parallel significant ivory seizures were reported in Vietnam, Singapore and China, also amounting to over 25 tonnes in total.
