The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) prohibits commercial trade in species which are threatened with extinction and controls and monitors trade in many other species to ensure that trade is at sustainable levels. Appendix I of CITES lists species recognized as threatened with extinction. Trade in these species and any products made from them for primarily commercial purposes is prohibited. Appendix II lists species that are not currently threatened with extinction, but may become so unless trade is strictly regulated to avoid over-exploitation.

These reptiles usually have four legs (a group of lizards called amphisbaenas have no legs). There are about 2,500 different species of lizards. Only two of these species are poisonous (including the beaded lizard and the Gila Monster ; the Komodo Dragon has a disease-ridden bite that infects and kills its prey).

Who's Watching Out for Endangered Species? by Erin Guffey and Rachel Mori photography by Jim Rathert Two kids spend a day learning the answers. Amy Salveter, Erin Guffrey and Rachel Mori (left to right) spent a day hiking, observing wildlife-such as lizards-and talking about ways to help Missouri's endangered species. We had the opportunity to interview Amy Salveter, who is the endangered species coordinator for the Department of Conservation. A major part of Amy's job is to watch over the natural resources of Missouri and to help protect the endangered species of plants and animals in Missouri. Part of her job is to make sure that the people who work for the Conservation Department are running projects to protect endangered species. Her co-workers are always doing surveys of plants and animals to make sure they are being helped and not harmed by the projects. They also watch over plants and animals that are not endangered to make sure they are not harmed, either. Amy also hikes through natural areas to study the wildlife and habitat. She helps train agents and land managers to look for people who may be abusing the animals or landscape. Poaching and digging up endangered plants is illegal, and people are fined for doing it. As a result of Amy's job, glades and other natural areas are protected. We had the pleasure of taking a long hike on Valley View Glades Natural Area with Amy and seeing many interesting plants and animals. In the glades, we saw purple cone flowers, one of the protected species that are sometimes dug up illegally by people to be used as medicine. While we were in the woods, Amy pointed out many birds, such as warblers and hummingbirds, that had migrated to Missouri for the summer from South America and Central America.

84. Keeping Wildlife In Massachusetts for the Conservation of Nature, any category of federal endangered species law or listed on the Massachusetts list of endangered, threatened, and lizards. http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/dfwpets.htm

KEEPING CAPTIVE / EXOTIC WILDLIFE Introduction People who want to acquire various wildlife species frequently contact MassWildlife for information . Some people already have an animal and may be disappointed or frustrated to learn they cannot lawfully keep it in Massachusetts. To avoid such problems and concerns, the public is encouraged to learn the laws pertaining to the possession of wildlife in Massachusetts before they acquire an animal. A summary of these laws is below. This is only a summary and people should refer to the appropriate Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) and the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) for details. Background: Massachusetts pet stores are inspected and regulated by the Department of Food and Agriculture but the stores must follow MassWildlife laws regarding the animals that they may sell. Purchasers can reasonably assume that an animal for sale in a Massachusetts pet store may be lawfully sold and possessed. Do not assume that animals for sale in other states, including those states adjoining Massachusetts, are lawful in Massachusetts. Similarly, be wary of animals advertised for sale on the Internet or in newspapers. These animals may be lawful at the point of origin, but not in Massachusetts.

85. The Star, Malaysia : Exotic And Endangered a growing trend towards keeping exotic – and sometimes endangered – species and cats, to having exotic species such as cockatoos, lizards (including iguanas http://www.ecologyasia.com/NewsArchives/jan2003/thestar_20030128_1.htm

Home Eco-News Tuesday, January 28, 2003 Exotic and endangered By HILARY CHIEW CHARLIE the tiger made headlines once again when it was released into a jungle in Sik, more than 100km from Sungai Petani in Kedah. Businessman Zaitun Arshad had been keeping the tiger in his house in Bukit Selambau near Sungai Petani but his unusual pet soon caught the public eye and caused a stir in the neighbourhood. Pet ownership in the country has evolved over time from rearing ornamental tropical fish, dogs and cats, to having exotic species such as lizards (including iguanas and chameleons), freshwater turtles and snakes. Zaitun claimed that he had caught the 18-month-old tiger in a trap in southern Thailand a few weeks ago, brought the tiger home with him, and grew fond of it. Sentiments aside, Zaitun’s actions had violated numerous laws. He had kept the wild cat without a licence from the Wildlife and National Parks Department (or Perhilitan). It is an offence under Section 64A of the Wildlife Protection Act 1972 to rear, hunt or kill tigers. Zaitun had also breached the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) in which a special permit is required to move the tiger – which is listed under Appendix I – from one country to another. (Species listed under Appendix I are not allowed to be traded as the animals are categorised as critically endangered.)

But now, faced with a SARS epidemic at home that has dented its global image, created panic in its capital, and threatened its economy and security, China has been pushed into action. A Chinese public security official in Shenzhen in the southern province of Guangdong said on Wednesday China had raided tens of thousands of markets, restaurants, and kitchens to crack down on the trade and consumption of protected animal species. "In Guangdong, we have a law which says consumers must also be punished," said the official, who declined to be named. "This law has been around for a while, although we have never punished anyone for consuming. But we will punish them from now on, if we find them guilty." The operation, code-named Spring Thunder, is part of China's belated battle to stop the spread of the global SARS virus, which some medical experts believe may have originated from the wild game that Chinese are so fond of consuming.

Contents Previous Next A healthy savanna, endangered mammals and Aboriginal burning RW Braithwaite CSIRO, Division of Wildlife and Ecology, Darwin Introduction Tropical savanna is the first child of the wet-dry tropics. The extreme alternation of wet and dry seasons produces the savanna vegetation (eg Frost et al. 1986, Mott et al. 1985). Other vegetation types are largely the result of extra water accumulation at particular places in the landscape, either as surface water at low points in the landscape or as groundwater where the geology and geomorphology allow water to return to the surface. In the wet tropics where rainfall is relatively evenly distributed over the year, rainforest is the dominant vegetation type. A wet-dry tropical climate not only makes the survival of rainforest trees difficult but predisposes the vegetation to fire. An annual period of productivity during the wet season inevitably produces growth which dries out and becomes flammable during the dry season. The wet-dry tropics have abundant lightning the highest annual rates of anywhere in Australia (Prentice 1978). Naturally it co-occurs with the wet season, but is most likely to cause fires early in the wet season when the vegetative fuel is still dry and rain generally light and localised.

Clad in grimy, hand-me-down clothes and crippled by arthritis, 75-year-old Kasimira Garcia seems the unlikeliest of criminals. But that's the point - like dozens of other women who pawn their illegal wares along this three-mile stretch of Mexico's Highway 57, Garcia's pitiful appearance is her best protection against the law. The row of sun-bleached stalls 50 miles north of the central desert outpost of San Luis Potosi serves as Mexico's main market for endangered animals. Everything from great horned owls to threatened cascabel rattlesnakes is openly for sale. And rarer, highly endangered animals such as golden eagles and desert tortoises can be ordered from other vendors in the village of Charco Cercado. Prices can range from as little as $2 for a yellow-winged Calandria lark to $10,000 for a golden eagle, according to wildlife specialists.

A SchoolWorld Internet Education Project Endangered/Threatened Species Report Submited by: Priscilla and Teresa Our Lady of Good Counsel Primary School, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia The Thorny Devil The Thorny Devil Source Unknown Photographer Unknown Description: The Thorny Devil is one of Australia's most magnificent species. Unfortunately it is endangered. It is also known as the Moloch, so when you're in Australias outback, beware! The Thorny Devil is rather prickly all over its body. It moves slowly, even when in a hurry. When scared or threatened the Thorny Devil puts its head between its front legs making a hump on its back. This is handy because when a predator is hungry, it makes it difficult for the predator to eat the Thorny Devil becuse it would get pricked. When a Thorny Devil moves to a place with a different coloured background it changes colour slowly taking several minutes. Near a sandy background a Moloch thorny devil will change to a dull colour. It is sometimes coloured with pretty colours like orange, chestnut and black. When eating the Moloch only eats ants, eating them one at a time. Their jaws aren't strong but their teeth have complex edged crowns which are good for crushing ants.
