Elephants To Dominate Endangered Species Meeting elephants to dominate endangered species meeting notably Japan, argue that ivory trade has never threatened the three countries' elephant herds, saying they were rising http://members.aol.com/cmwwrc/marmamnews/97060802.html
Extractions: By Cris Chinaka HARARE, June 8 (Reuter) - A proposal to resume trade in ivory from the African elephant is expected to be the dominant issue at a world conference on endangered species that starts in Zimbabwe on Monday. The 10-day Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meeting has been preceeded by a spirited debate. CITES officials say the delegates and the public will also be watching decisions on whales. "For us, all the issues on our agenda are important but for many people the conference has become a conference on elephants alone," CITES Secretary-General Izgrev Topkov said last Wednesday when he arrived in the Zimbabwean capital to prepare for the meeting. "We have 115 agenda items. We have 89 tags for species and 75 proposals. The media should not only report on elephants," he complained. The debate on elephants has been sparked by a proposal from three elephant-rich southern African states Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe for CITES to lift a seven-year-old world ban in ivory trade and to allow "limited but strictly supervised trade." They and their supporters, notably Japan, argue that ivory trade has never threatened the three countries' elephant herds, saying they were rising even before the 1989 ban, and now at around 150,000, are over twice the land's carrying capacity.

"Endangered" means a species is considered in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, and "threatened" means a species is considered in danger of becoming endangered. This protection prohibits elephant parts and products from being imported into the United States except under certain conditions. In addition, elephants are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an agreement among more than 120 nations to eliminate illegal trade in animals and plants, such as elephants, and their parts and associated products.

Extractions: Are elephants endangered species? There´s about 600 000 African elephants, and between 30 000 and 50 000 Asian elephants. (Approximately 20% are in captivity) It´s difficult to estimate their numbers exactly. The Africans dropped by 50%, from 1.3 millions to 600 000, between 1979 and 1989, because of poaching. About 8 elephants an hour (70 000/year) were poached during this period, until the CITES Ivory ban 1989. The CITES ((Washington)Convention of International Trade In Endangered Species) regard both species as so threatened, so they are included in appendix 1. (the red list)In the Cites conference 1997, populations in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia were downlisted to appendix II. This means that limited trade with ivory on quota, to Japan is ok. If a population in undisturbed, it grows with only 6%/year according to the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) elephant specialist group.

An elephant's main features are their tusks, big ears, a large trunk, they are very big and they have a little tail. An elephant can camouflage in with trees and the dry lands and they enjoy rolling in the mud. The elephant lives mainly in the west of Africa around the Sahara, Namby and Botouwa areas. An elephants main natural predator is the lion. Man kills them and they suffer a loss of habitat from man building cities.

Extractions: The Past, Present and Future of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ResourceAfrica CITES Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Simon Metcalfe If trade is to be beneficial both to the conservation of wildlife and human development, then CITES has to address a total package of positive incentives (trade combined with secure tenurial arrangements) as well as protection (negative trade sanctions). Trade sanctions should be used to encourage the evolution of positive and efficient incentives aimed at conserving habitat and species. Trade sanctions on nations that are not accompanied by positive policy changes remove wildlife management as a land use option. More land for cattle is not what CITES should be about! Most southern African states are struggling to implement effective devolution of wildlife use rights and CITES should assist, not impede this. When local communities, range states and CITES work together the potential for positive policy and institutional synergy is much greater than when range and non-range states simply contest issues in the absence of local communities. When a range state is practising good management, importing states should encourage trade; equally they should restrict trade with range states whose policies are patently not working. Trading states must share information to ensure policies are efficient, equitable and sustainable. A blunt instrument of punishing good and bad policies alike is unacceptable. The elephant trade ban, imposed in 1989, seriously undermined good management practices in southern Africa, while doing nothing to require that poor practices elsewhere were improved. No one should be fooled into thinking that the establishment of communal wildlife property rights is a simple exercise. But, in the end, it is more realistic and less problematic than attempting to conserve wildlife at national and international levels while neglecting the local landholders. A multistoried building of wildlife conservation must have a ground floor based on clear and unequivocal rights and responsibilities.

Extractions: The Past, Present and Future of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ResourceAfrica CITES Chapter 7 Chapter 7 In theory, CITES is supposed to supplement, not replace, effective control of the supply of wild species (field protection). In practice, however, there are many cases where field protection is completely lacking and CITES provides the only readily available mechanism for controlling commercial exploitation. Can CITES trade measures replace the need for effective field protection? The following four case studies suggest that it cannot. Each of these cases highlights serious shortcomings of the existing CITES mechanism and they offer some insights that can be used to design more effective wildlife trade regulation policies and mechanisms. There are five extant rhino species, two in Africa and three in Asia. The African species are the black rhino and the white rhino. Black rhino numbers have dropped from an estimated 65,000 in 1970 to about 2,600 in 1998. In the last six years numbers have increased in three range states: South Africa, Namibia and Kenya. Elsewhere, they continue to decline. There are two separate populations of white rhino. The northern population declined from some 2,000 in 1970 to a single population in Zaire of 17 in 1984. Since then this population has increased to about 25 and remains highly endangered. The southern white rhino was almost extinct at the turn of the century and was reduced to a single population of perhaps 20 animals in the Hluhluwe- Umfolozi district in South Africa. However, with careful management numbers have grown to some 8,440 today, and continue to increase.

For the most part, categorizations are made by the Species Survival Commission (SSC) Specialist Group covering the taxa in question. Guidelines for using the Red List criteria have been developed to assist Specialist Groups in assessing the conservation status of fishes. The most recent edition of the Red List, which utilized these criteria, is the 1996 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals.
