Snippet: The family Viverridae is a diverse group of small, nocturnal carnivores, including 34 species of civet, genet and African linsang distributed across Southern Europe, Africa and Asia (Wilson and Reeder, 2005) . Viverrids are commonly exploited for human consumption, being farmed and hunted for their fur, meat, 'civet' scent, to produce civet coffee, or to be kept as zoo animals or pets (Schreiber et al., 1989; Balakrishnan and Sreedevi, 2007; Shep.....
Document: The family Viverridae is a diverse group of small, nocturnal carnivores, including 34 species of civet, genet and African linsang distributed across Southern Europe, Africa and Asia (Wilson and Reeder, 2005) . Viverrids are commonly exploited for human consumption, being farmed and hunted for their fur, meat, 'civet' scent, to produce civet coffee, or to be kept as zoo animals or pets (Schreiber et al., 1989; Balakrishnan and Sreedevi, 2007; Shepherd and Shepherd, 2010; D'Cruze et al., 2014) . While habitat loss has contributed to historical population declines, hunting for human consumption is considered the most significant threat to their global conservation (Schreiber et al., 1989; Shepherd and Shepherd, 2010 ).
