I didn't realize that its 8 species are now categorized as critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable, and it is the most illegally trafficked of all mammals (regarded as a delicacy and also its body parts regarded as having medicinal properties, especially in eastern Asia).  Therefore, the entire Order Pholidota is at risk of extinction.
