A new study reveals an unexpected hero in forest recovery after wildfires: The Chinese pangolin!

Researchers found that Chinese pangolin burrows help restore biodiversity in forests devastated by fires. Over two years, areas with burrows had a higher diversity of plants and animals compared to sites without them. These critically endangered mammals are expert diggers, burrowing as deep as 8 feet—creating shelter for cold-blooded animals, ideal conditions for shade-loving plants, and even dust baths for birds. Small mammals also use burrows for foraging and hunting. As forest fires worsen due to climate change, this study underscores the power of nature-based solutions. Protecting pangolins doesn’t just save a species—it helps entire ecosystems recover.

"China's 2025 Pharmacopoeia removes Guilingji, a traditional medicine containing pangolin, marking a step toward wildlife protection.

In a promising development for wildlife protection, China has removed Guilingji, a traditional medicine containing pangolin ingredients, from the upcoming 2025 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China.

The revised edition was released on 25 March and will come into effect on 1 October 2025.

Guilingji, once designated a confidential national prescription, was among 19 proprietary Chinese medicines excluded from the new pharmacopoeia.

Its ingredients included red ginseng, deer antler, seahorse and pangolin. The animal-derived products held ethical and conservation concerns.

Why Guilingji's removal matters

Guilingji is not just any traditional remedy; it has held a prominent place in Chinese medicine since it was classified as a first-level national secret prescription in 1957.

Its delisting from the pharmacopoeia suggests a shift in regulatory priorities, especially as pangolins are now protected under the highest level of international and domestic conservation laws.

While this does not constitute a ban on Guilingji's sale or production, the removal makes it harder to promote and prescribe.

The Chinese Pharmacopoeia is the official standard for clinical prescriptions.

If a medicine is no longer listed, it indicates that it no longer meets criteria for safety, efficacy or ethical acceptability, and healthcare providers may reduce or avoid its use altogether.

A step toward ethical and sustainable medicine

The decision to delist Guilingji may reflect growing awareness of the need to align traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with modern expectations around public health, science and wildlife protection.

Pangolins are critically endangered due to trafficking, and their scales have long been used in TCM despite a lack of proven therapeutic value.

Experts in TCM regulation have acknowledged that removing animal-based products with limited clinical support, especially when conservation or ethical concerns are involved, is consistent with evolving standards for quality and safety."
