YAONDE, CAMEROON: A man tries to stop the photographer from photographing four juvenile pangolins for sale in an illegal bushmeat market in Yaonde, Cameroon. There are another five endangered species on this table. Although they are officially listed as critically endangered, pangolins are still heavily traded on the bushmeat market in Cameroon, one of the only countries in the world where there are still enough pangolins for hunters to find. Law enforcement is very lax on this issue and corruption in the courts means a bribe is all it takes to get away with this trade. Pangolin scales, highly prized in Asia for traditional medicine, are nowadays kept after consumption and Cameroonian middlemen purchase those for Chinese clients who often fly them out of the country via corrupt officials and eco guards. Bushmeat purveyors say this is a recent phenomenon within the last five years that offers them another source of income.
