Introduction The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has been utilised for over twenty years as a tool to help conserve wild species which are traded internationally. Species which are covered by the provisions of the Convention are included in appendices. To qualify for Appendix I, the Convention states that taxa must be "threatened by extinction" and that they "are or may be threatened by trade". Species included in Appendix n are those which "although not necessarily now threatened with extinction, may become so unless trade in specimens of such species is subject to strict regulation in order to avoid utilisation incompatible with their survival". Procedures to amend the appendices are laid dovvTi within the Convention. Resolutions providing further guidance on which species to list on the appendices were passed at the first Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention in 1976 in Berne. The so-called "Berne Criteria" provided guidance on the biological and trade status information required for inclusion in a proposal to amend the appendices. In 1994, the Parties adopted Resolution Conf. 9.24 which contained new criteria for amendment of Appendices I and II. These are sunnmarised in Section 2 below. The CITES listing criteria were developed at the same time as the development of the 1994 lUCN Red List Categories and are loosely related to them. The general aim of the new lUCN system of categorising is "to provide an explicit, objective framework for the classification of species according to their extinction risk" (lUCN Species Survival Commission, 1994). The lUCN categories indicate the degree to which species are threatened by extinction and are thus highly relevant to the CTTES listing process. As well as detailing the new CITES listing criteria, CITES Resolution Conf 9.24 also sets out in general terms the information requirements for amendment proposals. It points out that sufficient information, of sufficient quality and in sufficient detail to judge the proposal against the hsting criteria should be provided vnll to the extent available. It also acknowledges that for some species the amount of scientific information be limited. The CITES appendices include a wide range of plant and animal species including, at present, around twenty tree species which are traded internationally as timber (see Table 1). The provisions of the Convention and subsequent guidance on listing do not generally distinguish between different species groups in their application. There has, however, been international debate about the suitability of the Convention as a tool to help conserve particular species groups. Increased interest in the use of CITES for timber species over recent years has contributed to this debate. Various amendment proposals have been submitted to CITES for timber species and have been considered by the Parties at the Eighth and Ninth Conferences, prior to the adoption of Resolution Conf 9.24. At the Tenth Conference, Parties again considered and rejected a proposal to list a major timber species, Swietenia macrophylla, on Appendix n of the Convention. At the Tenth Conference of the Parties, the final report of the CITES Timber Working Group (TWG ), convened following the Ninth Conference in November 1994, was considered and endorsed. The CITES Timber Working Group (TWG) was formed to review implementation issues relating to timber species. Its formation was in response to the increased interest in CITES as a conservation tool for tree species and concerns about the potential practical implications of timber listings. The CITES listing criteria were applied to tree species for the first time in Phase 1 of this project undertaken by WCMC. Fifty-eight species were selected: care was taken in choosing representatives from various continents and various climatic regions, trees that were listed in the Appendices and some that were not listed, and covering various degrees and forms of utilisation. The choice was made in such a way as to evaluate trees with no known use at all, as well as trees used in the pharmaceutical or wood or other industries. The results were presented to the Seventh Meeting of the CITES Plants Committee. The Plants Committee congratulated the Netheriands CITES Management Authority and WCMC on the production listing criteria of the report, noting that it provided a valuable review of the application of the new CITES for a range of tree species. Furthermore, the Plants Committee invited the Netherlands CITES Management Authority to continue the process of applying the new CITES listing criteria to tree species included in the CITES appendices and for internationally traded tree species (and other plant species) not included in the CITES appendices. Contribution to an evaluation of tree species using the new CITES Listing Criteria Phase 2 completed the review of the apphcation of the 1994 CITES listing criteria to timber species. A further 250 tree species were evduated against the CITES listing criteria. Although far from complete, the list of evaluated tree species aims at providing a reasonable representation of tree species from various regions, climates and grades of commercialisation and conservation. The evaluation includes a preliminary testing of the criteria against the majority of timber species included in the Appendices of CITES (see section 3.1). Application of the criteria to CITES-listed timbers assists in the implementation of a TWG recommendation that: The Plants Committee under the charge as outlined in Resolution Conf. 9.1, Annex 3, para vii) reviews the list of all timber species currently included in the appendices and reports the results of this review to the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties. Subsequently at the Eighth Meeting of the CITES Plants Committee (November 1997) it was agreed that the results of the WCMC Tree Species Evaluation project commissioned by the CITES Management Authority of the Netherlands be used as a basis for this review. In its final report, endorsed by the CITES Parties, TWG noted that; many internationally traded timber species, boreal, temperate and tropical, can be managed on a sustainable basis through the application of appropriate silvicultural techniques, but that for other timber species such knowledge is currently lacking; and that there may be timber species which are under threat because of detrimental levels of use and international trade. Consequently the TWG recommended that: The range states should pay particular attention to internationally traded timber species within their territories for which knowledge of biological status and silvicultural requirements indicates concern.

The new CITES listing criteria The new CITES listing criteria as set out in Resolution Conf. 9.24 include biological criteria for inclusion in Appendix I; criteria for the inclusion in Appendix 11 of species in need of trade regulation in order to avoid utilisation incompatible with their survival; and criteria for inclusion in Appendix II of species which should be included for "look-alike purposes". The main criteria (leaving out those for Appendix II look- alike species) are summarised in the Box below. It should be emphasised that each criterion for Appendix I hsting is subject to fiirther qualifications, at least one of which should be met for the criterion to apply. The Appendix I criteria are given in full in Annex 1 to this report. Boxl Summary of the Biological Criteria for listing in Appendix I: A It has a small wild population (<5000 individuals) 6 It has a restricted area of distnbution(<10,0(X)km^) C The vkild population has been or is inferred to be in decline (50% in 5 years or 2 generations or for a small population 20% in 10 years or 3 generations).

    Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center (JIFPRO) March 2015 Technical Guidelines for Reforestation at Ex-Coal-Mining Areas - Based on the outcomes of experimental reforestation activities at ex-coal-mining areas in South Kalimantan, Indonesia - Eiichiro Nakama, Seiichi Ohta, Yasuo Ohsumi, Tokunori Mori and Satohiko Sasaki Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center Fakhrur Razie, Hamdani Fauzi and Mahrus Aryadi Lambung Mangkurat University, Indonesia Japan International Forestry Promotion and Cooperation Center March 2015 Foreword During the past decades, deforestation and forest degradation continues especially in developing countries. According to the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO), approximately 13 million hectors of global forests have been lost annually due to forest land conversion to other land uses, forest fires and natural disasters, while reforestation and natural regeneration account for an increase of approx. 7.8 million hectors of forest cover. This means the net loss of global forest is estimated at 5.2 million hectors. Adverse impacts of forest conversion to farmland can be minimized as far as the land is properly used and managed in a sustainable manner. However, in some cases, problem soils are exposed and abandoned as degraded land. Deforestation by mining is a big issue these years. Problem soils such as strong acid soils and/or too much heavy metal soils appear at the ex-mining areas. In some cases it is too difficult to reforestate.

Though the name is familiar to many from Redmon O’Hanlon’s classic Into the Heart of Borneo, there is very little tourism here due to the river’s remoteness and lack of facilities. There is much to do and see upriver, whether just gazing at the amazing scenery or visiting traditional and modern Iban long houses. In these river towns, you can explore the architectural vestiges of the Brooke Raj, and experience jungle treks and longboat trips as your journey continues to the Pelagus Rapids. Wildlife is in abundance and crocodiles, monitor lizards and the hornbill (national bird of Sarawak) are common sights. Downriver, the prosperous Chinese city of Sibu with its old shop houses, markets and friendly inhabitants, is a calm reflection of old China. At Sareiki, enjoy visits to pepper farms and exotic fruit plantations, and experience textile production at the sea port of Thanjung Manis. ITINERARY • Day 1 − Arrive in Sibu and board your cruise ship You are met upon arrival at the airport in Sibu, a bustling Malaysian port city set close to local markets and temples. Transfer to the cruise ship and settle in to your comfortable cabin. The afternoon is yours at leisure to explore the town on foot with its attractive streets of old Chinese shop houses, redolent of Malacca or Penang but without the tourists.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.
