A poacher processes a critically endangered pangolin for it's meat and scales, Kalimantan, Indonesia. The demand for pangolin meat and scales used in traditional Chinese medicine in China and Vietnam is pushing the pangolin to extinction. Researchers at IUCN say that over a million pangolins were caught in the last decade, which makes them the most illegally-traded mammal in the world.
