According to ENACT Africa, criminal syndicates and buyers from major cities in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Nigeria buy pangolins from poaching cells made up of locals based in pangolins’ natural habitats. In particular, Cameroon has emerged as a major transit country for pangolins trafficked from the Central African Republic, with traffickers bribing border and customs officials to secure ease of passage for illegal wildlife products and to provide false customs declarations for their shipments. Major markets for pangolin products include China, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, though there is also a route from Cameroon north through Chad and Sudan through which endangered animals such as pangolins are trafficked to markets in Arab countries.
