At the CITES meeting, international delegates proposed that four species of African pangolins and four Asian varieties be up-listed to Appendix1, meaning that all commercial trade would be stopped and greater protection demanded from law enforcement. There was widespread support for the move, with few dissenting voices. "Giving pangolins full protection under CITES will eliminate any question about legality of trade,making it harder to trade in them and increasing the consequences for those who do," said Ginette Hemley from the World Wildlife Fund.
