Descriptor: Participatory Mapping of Trade in Pangolin Scales and Other Wildlife in Cameroon (PMPSOWC)

Spatial Variable Definition Details Relevant to Pangolins Relevant to Other Wildlife Recruiting co-offenders Location where a dealer identifies and brings in two or more individuals to participate as teammates or co-offenders across the different stages of the scale trade Teammates can include hunters, transporters, middlemen. Co-offender teambuilding can include contacting trusted people through referrals, assigning roles, and other activities required to carry out the trade X Team meeting Location where team members meet to coordinate future scale trade activities Meeting topics can include determining current scale availability, negotiating prices, quantities, and plan logistics for product movement X Tool acquisition Location where equipment is obtained to hunt pangolins and transport their scales Team members acquire tools such as hunting implements, bags, and containers that will be used to capture animals and move the scales through the trading supply chain X Team meet up Location where hunters and team members meet for a final briefing before embarking Team members plan the activity, assign roles, share information, and arrange the meeting point after hunting X Pangolin harvest Location where pangolins are captured or killed by hunters Hunters locate, capture, or kill pangolins X Other wildlife harvest Location where other wildlife are captured or killed by hunters Hunters locate, capture and kill other wildlife species X Order placement Location where team members meet other people to place orders for scales, sometimes giving a cash advance Discussion may include negotiating prices, quantities, and placing orders using cash before the actual movement or delivery of scales X Scale removal Location where scales are separated from the animal Hunters or processors remove scales (soaking in warm water and scraping with knives or sticks) and prepare for drying, storage,and transport within the trade chain X Scale exchange Location where pangolin scales are transferred between actors in the trade chain Hunters, middlemen, and traders exchange scales for money X Wildlife market Location where scales and other wildlife products are traded Market could be in villages, satellite towns, and capital cities. At these markets, traders and middlemen exchange wildlife products according to prices negotiated and may arrange further distribution to other areas X X Local scale aggregation Local location where pangolin scales collected from different hunters or sellers are brought together and consolidated Middlemen or traders sort, package, and prepare scales for bulk transport, or resell to higher-level dealers within the network, often in local villages X Other wildlife aggregation Local location where other wildlife products collected from different hunters or sellers are brought together and consolidated Middlemen or traders sort, package, and prepare other wildlife products for bulk transport, or resell to higher-level dealers within the network, often in local villages X Scale storage Location where aggregated pangolin scales are kept, cached, or stockpiled Storage may occur in locations including houses, warehouses, or hidden locations to accumulate larger quantities and reduce the risk of detection, often in larger towns or cities X Other wildlife storage Location where other aggregated wildlife products are kept, cached, or stockpiled Storage may occur in houses, warehouses, or hidden locations to accumulate larger quantities and reduce the risk of detection, often in larger towns or cities X Consumption point Location where pangolin scales and other wildlife products, but not meat, are consumed or otherwise used Scales meet the final consumer who will use the scales and other wildlife products, but not meat, for a variety of purposes X X Elude law enforcement Location where team members avoid detection by enforcement authorities These may be villages or towns X| 空间变量 | 定义 | 详情 | 与穿山甲相关 | 与其他野生动物相关 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 招募共犯 | 非法贸易商贩物色并召集两名及以上人员作为同伙或共犯，参与鳞片贸易各环节的场所 | 同伙可涵盖猎手、运输者、中间商；共犯团伙组建可包括通过引荐联络可信人员、分配角色及开展贸易所需的各类活动 | 是 | 否 | | 团伙碰头会 | 贸易团伙成员碰面以协调后续鳞片贸易活动的场所 | 碰头议题可包括确认当前鳞片供货情况、商议价格与数量，以及规划货物运输的物流方案 | 是 | 否 | | 工具购置 | 购置用于捕猎穿山甲及运输其鳞片的设备的场所 | 团伙成员购置捕猎工具、包装袋及运输容器等，用于捕获穿山甲并将鳞片转运至贸易供应链中 | 是 | 否 | | 行动集结 | 猎手与团伙成员在行动启程前进行最终部署碰头的场所 | 团伙成员规划行动、分配角色、共享信息，并商定狩猎后的集合地点 | 是 | 否 | | 穿山甲猎捕点 | 猎手捕获或猎杀穿山甲的场所 | 猎手定位、捕获或猎杀穿山甲 | 是 | 否 | | 其他野生动物猎捕点 | 猎手捕获或猎杀其他野生动物的场所 | 猎手定位、捕获并猎杀其他野生动物物种 | 否 | 是 | | 订单下达点 | 团伙成员与他人会面以订购鳞片，有时预付定金的场所 | 商谈内容可包括商议价格、数量，并在鳞片实际转运或交付前以现金下单 | 是 | 否 | | 鳞片剥离点 | 将鳞片从动物躯体剥离的场所 | 猎手或加工者剥离鳞片（通过温水浸泡、用刀具或棍棒刮取），并为鳞片在贸易链中的干燥、存储与转运做好准备 | 是 | 否 | | 鳞片交易点 | 贸易链各参与方之间转移穿山甲鳞片的场所 | 猎手、中间商与贸易商通过鳞片换取资金 | 是 | 否 | | 野生动物市场 | 交易鳞片及其他野生动物制品的场所 | 市场可设于乡村、卫星城镇及首府城市；在此类市场中，贸易商与中间商按照商议好的价格进行野生动物制品交易，并可安排将货物进一步分销至其他地区 | 是 | 是 | | 本地鳞片归集点 | 汇集不同猎手或卖家提供的穿山甲鳞片并进行整合的本地场所 | 中间商或贸易商通常在本地乡村对鳞片进行分拣、包装，准备批量运输，或转售给网络内的上级经销商 | 是 | 否 | | 其他野生动物制品归集点 | 汇集不同猎手或卖家提供的其他野生动物制品并进行整合的本地场所 | 中间商或贸易商通常在本地乡村对其他野生动物制品进行分拣、包装，准备批量运输，或转售给网络内的上级经销商 | 否 | 是 | | 鳞片存储点 | 存放、暂存或囤积归集后的穿山甲鳞片的场所 | 存储地点通常设于较大城镇或城市，包括住宅、仓库或隐蔽场所，以囤积更多货物并降低被查获的风险 | 是 | 否 | | 其他野生动物制品存储点 | 存放、暂存或囤积归集后的其他野生动物制品的场所 | 存储地点通常设于较大城镇或城市，包括住宅、仓库或隐蔽场所，以囤积更多货物并降低被查获的风险 | 否 | 是 | | 消费终端点 | 穿山甲鳞片及其他野生动物制品（不包括肉类）被使用或消耗的场所 | 鳞片最终到达消费者手中，后者会出于多种用途使用此类鳞片及其他野生动物制品（不包括肉类） | 是 | 是 | | 逃避执法点 | 团伙成员躲避执法当局排查的场所 | 此类场所可为乡村或城镇 | 是 | 否 |
