Pangolins only came to my attention back in 2014, although there has since been a David Attenborough narrated documentary which publicised their plight as victims of Chinese traditional medicine.
If the current coronovirus problem leads to Chinese not eating any, or as many, endangered wild animals for imaginary health benefits, that will at least be something good to come of it. See this:
Did pangolins spread the China coronavirus to people?
Alas, I fear a repeat of their jihad against sparrows is more likely.
