Ms Keri PARKER
Co-Chair
Keri Parker is a multifaceted wildlife biologist with more than 25 years of experience. A systems thinker, she works to identify and fill critical gaps in global pangolin conservation and create the conditions necessary for collaborative initiatives to succeed. She Co-Founded Save Pangolins in 2008 to raise global awareness of pangolins and drive support to pangolin conservationists. She has invested particular emphasis in encouraging conservationists within the countries where wild pangolins occur, building connections between experts, and fostering peaceful collaboration among stakeholders. She served as a PSG Vice Chair from 2012-2021 and became Co-Chair in March, 2021, and also serves as the PSG Conservation Planning Focal Point.
Dr Matthew SHIRLEY
Co-Chair
Dr. Shirley is an applied species conservation ecologist working at the interface of species ecology, trade policy and sustainability, and applied conservation through capacity building and reinforcement with local partners, mostly in West and Central Africa. His work relies on flagship species to advance conservation and ecology research in tropical forests and wetlands, focused on pangolins, crocodilians, and other charismatic but largely ignored species. His work with pangolins began in 2018 and he runs a comprehensive program on pangolin ecology, health, and trade in West Africa focused on better understanding pangolin-environment interactions, pangolin abundance, and factors affecting distribution, local harvest, trade and trade composition. Dr. Shirley is keen to advance conservation planning for pangolins in West and Central Africa through key synergies with regional stakeholders. He is Co-Chair of the PSG since 2021.

The Pangolin Specialist Group (PSG) is a voluntary network of experts from around the world including field biologists, educators, social scientists, zoologists, veterinarians, ecologists, geneticists, lawyers, communications experts and criminal investigators, all of whom are actively involved in pangolin conservation. The PSG was re-established in February 2012 in recognition of the widespread threats to pangolins globally and to address the lack of ...
To work within the framework of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC to secure a future for wild pangolins through advancing knowledge on pangolin status, threats and conservation priorities, and by catalysing action to conserve them.
Specialist Group work
The PSG seeks to better understand the status of wild pangolin populations, the threats they face, and the social, political and environmental contexts in which they occur. We collaborate with stakeholders at all levels to provide technical advice and develop evidence-based scientific information and conservation strategies.
PSG members are developing methods to assess and monitor the status of wild pangolin populations and the relative impacts of different anthropogenic threats.
PSG assesses species status and threats, both for 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List and to inform conservation efforts.
