We collected Chinese pangolins' location data for burrows, infrared camera images, and live encounters obtained in China between 2010 and October 2022 by field investigations, published papers, survey reports, and online records. Given that the Chinese pangolin is still at high risk of poaching in China, these locations were only disclosed at the municipal level, and the coordinates are provided at 0.5 degree (about 50km). Therefore, we kindly remind relevant researchers to carefully use these coordinates to study the distribution of Chinese pangolin.
