Endangered Species, Threatened Convention (online version) 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 Assessing CITES: Four Case Studies Introduction 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. Case Study 1: Rhinos Background 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.

Saving America's Wildlife Renewing the Endangered Species Act by William J. Snape II and Robert M. Ferris Home Special Publications Foreword Executive Summary ... Conclusion Appendix Notes Endangered Species Case Studies Ten Questions About The Endangered Species Act 1. Why do we have an Endangered Species Act? he short answer is that the Endangered Species Act ultimately protects us. The long answer involves scientific, economic, aesthetic and philosophical components. The Endangered Species Act is intended to address the serious problem of human-caused acceleration of the species extinction rate. Biologists estimate that in the past 150 years, human activities have increased the global extinction rate by hundreds if not thousands of times, producing the greatest extinction event since the decline of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. According to noted biologist E. O. Wilson, we may be losing up to 50,000 species per year, potentially resulting in the loss of more than 20 percent of the world's species by the year 2025. Humans rely on biological diversity for food, medicines, recreation and ecosystem services such as providing clean water and clean air.

Contacts Licenses/Permits Regulations News ... Non-Endangered Species Protecting E. S. Preventing Declines Alaska's Non -Endangered Species Alaska is unique among the states in retaining nearly all of its native animals and plants in their natural diversity and abundance. Our geographical isolation, relatively recent growth in population, limited development, small agricultural industry, conservative laws governing the introduction and importation of exotic animals, and a little luck, all contribute to this favorable condition. Alaska has one of the shortest lists of endangered and threatened species of all the states. Many species that are rare, endangered, or have been extirpated elsewhere in the United States are thriving in Alaska. For example, the grizzly (or brown) bear The gray (or timber) wolf Although the bald eagle is well on its way to recovery, this uniquely American bird is still classified as threatened in 48 states. The eagle's decline during the past half century was primarily due to reproductive failure caused by pesticides, such as DDT. Persecution and habitat destruction contributed to shrinking populations. Today, of the estimated 50,000 bald eagles found in the United States, approximately 80 percent soar in Alaska skies. Alaska eaglets have been shipped to New York, Tennessee, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri, and California to aid recovery efforts in those states. As a result, bald eagles are regaining their place in the American landscape. While Alaska was a Russian possession

28. Endangered Species bears are poached for their skins, gall bladders and other body prevent endangeredspecies of plants and animals becoming threatened or endangered by trade. http://www.acapworldwide.com/animal.htm

Countless wild species are joining endangered lists to meet consumer demand for wildlife products. The Asian Conservation Awareness Programme (ACAP) works to actively reduce the demand for endangered and threatened wildlife by educating people worldwide about the threats to these animals and plants. Unsustainable and illegal trade in wildlife, together with habitat loss, is causing the uncontrolled decline and near extinction of many species. Consumers and illegal traders often pay the highest prices for parts or products from the rarest species. This has led poachers and traders to target those species already most at risk, pushing animals like the Asian rhino and Siberian tiger to the very edge of extinction. The trade in wild animals and plants is highly profitable. Prices up to US$40,000 per kilo have been recorded for the much prized rhino horn - more than five times the price of gold. The illegal wildlife trade bares many similarities to the drugs and arms trade. Those involved are often extremely dangerous and will go to any ends to achieve what they want. Many have lost their lives in the fight to protect endangered species. ACAP focuses on the consumption of keystone species like the tiger marine turtle rhino elephant ... shark , and bear . Learn about these species and their habitats, the threats they face and the trade in body parts. Read about the main consumer markets that are driving this trade and learn more about the alternatives available.

Mountain Brook Lamprey Ichthyomyzon greeleyi photo by Gary Meszaros maximum length- 10 inches IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS: This fish is a non-parasitic lamprey similar to the Ohio lamprey and it typically reaches a smaller maximum length (to 10 inches). The sucking mouth disc bears 10 large teeth with two sharp cusps situated around the top and sides of the mouth opening and a single row of smaller, single-pointed teeth beneath the mouth opening. Regular rows of generally smaller single-pointed teeth occupy the remainder of the disc. The sucking disc is narrower than the body. BIOLOGY-NATURAL HISTORY: This species' spawning period partly coincides with the Ohio lamprey's. Both species have been observed using the same spawning depressions at the same time. Adults die soon after spawning; the ammocoetes, which cannot be distinguished structurally from Ohio lamprey ammocoetes, construct U-shaped burrows in which they remain until sexually mature. Food items consist of a variety of very small plants and animals carried by the current. Upon attainment of sexual maturity, the digestive system degenerates and teeth develop within the hooded mouth. PREFERRED HABITAT: The mountain brook lamprey inhabits some of the same waters inhabited by the Ohio lamprey, but it is usually found farther upstream.

Ohio Lamprey Ichthyomyzon bdellium photo by Rob Criswell maximum length- 14 inches IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS: This parasitic fish reaches 14 inches in length. The expanded sucking mouth disc is as wide as the body, and bears nine large teeth with two or three cusps around the top and sides of the mouth opening. A single row of smaller single-pointed teeth lies beneath the mouth opening. Regular rows of generally smaller teeth are arranged around the remainder of the disc. BIOLOGY-NATURAL HISTORY: Spawning occurs from spring to early summer, in a depression among gravel and rocks. The bodies of spawning individuals are horizontally oriented. Adults die soon after spawning. Ammocoetes form "U "-shaped burrows in the quieter portions of the stream in a sandy to clean detritus area, and capture very small plant and animal material with the hooded mouth. Transformation to the adult form begins during the spring months, perhaps five to seven years later. At that time the lampreys are up to six inches long and develop a complete digestive tract and a toothed mouth disc. These young, still immature individuals, then move downstream into larger waters, where they attach themselves to suckers, bass, walleye and other fishes. After feeding and growing for another year, the large, now sexually mature adults move upstream to spawning sites.

35. TRAFFIC Factfile: Substitutes In Medicines musk deer, rhinoceroses, Tigers, and some species of bears. on International Tradein endangered species of Wild not lead to other species becoming threatened. http://www.traffic.org/factfile/factfile_substitutes.html

FACTFILE: Substitutes for endangered and threatened species in traditional medicines Why explore the issue of substitutes? Many traditional medicine disciplines utilise wild plants and animals. For example, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the most widely practised traditional medicine system in the world, utilises more than 1000 plant and animal species. TCM is used throughout Asia and by Asian communities worldwide. In addition, it is increasingly attracting non-Asian consumers. While TCM has been practised for perhaps 5000 years, some of the wild plants and animals long utilised are now threatened or in danger of extinction. Among these are certain orchids, musk deer, rhinoceroses, Tigers, and some species of bears. The changing status of the Tiger is one of the most dramatic examples. There may be as few as 5000 Tigers remaining in the wild compared to the 100 000 that existed earlier this century, and three species have become extinct in the past 40 years. Habitat loss and fragmentation played a significant role in the Tiger's decline. Today, however, poaching to meet demand for Tiger bone in traditional East Asian medicine is the most urgent risk to the Tiger's long-term survival. Owing to the strong allegiance to TCM as a legitimate health care system as well as its cultural significance, protective laws and trade bans are not enough to stop the use of highly endangered species in medicines. In the case of Tiger-based medicines, China and other consuming countries and territories have introduced trade bans, and China has even removed Tiger bone from the official TCM pharmacopoeia. However, as Tiger bone has been a respected ingredient in TCM for treating painful diseases of muscles and bones for centuries, there remains a stubborn residual demand and, therefore, a black market trade that spans the globe to meet it.

" These are things I have nightmares about hearing from my kids or grandkids. But at the rate the human race is going, we are going to eradicate tigers, elephants, lions and many other beloved animals before any grandchildren - or maybe even children - I might have will come along. This is a depressing thought. The good news is, there are many organizations trying to help endangered species, and more and more information is becoming available to educate the public and encourage everyone to take action.
