In spite of their protected status under international laws, pangolins remain one of the most trafficked animals in the world — and at least some of that trade is taking place right out in the open on Facebook . A new report from tech watchdog group the Tech Transparency Project details how Facebook users are engaged in the sale of illegally trafficked pangolin parts, even though the practice is illegal and prohibited by Facebook itself. In one example, a public page of Facebook called "Pangolin Scales for Sale in Vietnam" advertised the sale of the forbidden animal products, asking potential buyers to send a message to the seller over WhatsApp or email.
