A PROGRAM OF THE OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United States-Asia Environmentai Partnership (USAEP) of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Office of International Affairs of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have joined in partnerships with the wildlife management agencies of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, indonesia and The Philippines to present workshops on the imple entation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES). The purpose of this program is to provide basic, practical training in the provisions of CITES, the reasons why they were developed, and their irmplementation. ATn emphasis is placed on CITES administration, w-idlife inspection, law enforcement investigation technicues and species identification. The Bangladesh workshop was the second to be presented in the series of five. In Bangladesh the partnership was formed with the Ministry of Environment and Forest. The workshop was held at the Bana Bhaban, Mohakhali, Dhaka from April 22 to 26, 1995. The Fish Wildlife and Service instructor team was in Bangladesh from April 17 to 29. The workshop was presented to twenty-four participants drawn from the Office of the Chief Conservator of Forest, Police, Customs, and one member of a non-governmental organization. It was chaired by Dr. Shamsur Rahman, Chief Conservator of Forest In­ charge with Mr. Syed Amir-ul-Mulk, Additional Secretary In­ charge.

The workshop initially focused on CITES background information including history, structure and objectives of CITES; the history of CITES in Bangladesh; an overview of the CITES's process in Bangladesh and a review of the national laws relative to wildlife law enforcement. It then went on to discussions relevant to CITES administration including definitions, the species included on the CITES appendices, and the principles and procedures for use of the different appendices.

The discussions of the second day covered procedures for specimens bred in captivity; global and regional trade concerns; quotas; re-exports; the annual report and how to use it; how read to a CITES document; presentation of the CITES document of Bangladesh and methods of document analysis. By the third day attention turned to types of document fraud and inspection techniques. This included training on types of inspections (in particular passenger baggage, air/ocean cargo and land/border inspections); smuggling techniques; safety practices for

i inspectors; humane shipping requirements; and disposition and use of confiscated specimens. The fourth day of the workshop emphasized wildlife law enforcement including wildlife legislation, training to conduct needs, how a criminal investigation, investigation techniques, and case profiles. The fifth and final day of the included program presentations on the Service's National Wildlife Forensic Laboratory and how it can assist Bangladesh; establishing an international wildlife law enforcement program and species identification. Mr. Syed Amir-ul-Mulk led the closing ceremonies. The major accomplishment of this workshop was the presentation of the CITES implementation training to Bangladesh's Management Authority and enforcement agencies involved in control of illegal trade in wildlife. The participants now have an awareness increased of the different roles that they and their agencies play in the implementation and enforcement of CITES. Of equal significance to the training presented was the opportunity created by the workshop for various agencies responsible for enforcing wildlife trade laws to meet and discuss issues. The authors of this report suggest consideration be given to the following. 0 Legislation surrounding the wildlife trade be analyzed for needed changes. Currently, Bangladesh cannot fulfill its obligations under CITES with respect to the plant trade. 0 Officials of the government's wildlife conservation agency consider meeting frequently with customs officials for coordination and training purposes. * Domestic enforcement of the wildlife laws be emphasized. * A joint regional meeting or event be held to facilitate interaction with the countries of the Indian subcontinent (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bhutan). This workshop was a very good beginning point for CITES training in Bangladesh. It is clear that Bangladesh has a strong legislative structure with which to address wildlife issues. trade However it must be stressed that stronger interagency coordination is needed and additional opportunities to reinforce the training of personnel and implementation procedures of the CITES should be encouraged both within Bangladesh and between Bangladesh and neighboring countries.

iv INTRODUCTION:

The United States-Asia Environmental Partnership (USAEP) of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Office of International Affairs of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have joined in partnerships with the wildlife management agencies of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Indonesia and The Philippines to present workshops on the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES). The purpose of this programn is to provide basic, practical training in the provisions of CITES, the reasons why they were developed, and their implementation. An emphasis is placed on CITES administration, wildlife inspection, law enforcement investigation techniques and species identification.

The program of workshops was preceded by a November 8, 1994, meeting at the Ninth Conference of Parties (COP) to the CITES treaty and by a U.S. study tour on CITES implementation (January 28 to February 4, 1995). The meeting at the COP allowed the representatives of the USAEP, the Service an: the five Asian countries to assess interest in the training program and initiate formation of the partnerships necessary for presentation of the training. The study tour further developed interest in the training among the host countries by proviaing training to senior officials of those countries in U.S. CITES implementation techniques. The personal relationships developed with these ficials on the tour have proven useful in facilitation of workshop coordination.

In Bangladesh the partnership for presentation of the workshop was formed with the Ministry of Environment and Forest. The Bangladesh workshop was the second in the series of five.

CITES IN BANGLADESH

Organization: Bangladesh became a.signatory to CITES in 1973 when the treaty was first initiated, but it was not until 1982 that legislation was ratified and CITES became effective for Bangladesh. The Chief Conservator of Forest is the CITES Management Authority. The Conservator of Forest, Wildlife Circle is the assistant Management Authority for issuance of CITES export permits (Appendix I, II, and III). The Bangladesh Wildlife Advisory Board which was formed in 1977 under provisions of the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act of 1974 acts as the Scientific Authority of CITES in Bangladesh.

Legal Authority: International trade in wild fauna is regulated through provisions of the Bangladesh Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment) Act (Appendix IV). While the Act provides no provisiors specifically for the implementation of CITES, it does contain legaI provisions for the conservation of wildlife and their habitats (Appendix V). The Act has three schedules of which part I of the First Schedule contains 36 species which are allowed to be shot, trapped and collected under ordinary game hunting permits from the Forest Department. Shooting was prohibited by an Executive Crder issued in 1989 which also limited trapping and collecting of crabs (Scylla serrata) and had allowed for commercial trade in one species of tortoise (Testudo elongata). Part 2 of the First schedule contains provisions for the management of problem animals which threaten the balance of nature or have become a threat to human life (for example man-eating tigers). The Second Schedule lists those species of wild animals, trophies, or meat for which a certificate of lawful possession is required in order to possess or export. The Third Schedule contains those wildlife species of the country which are fully protected against shooting, trapping and collection. Understanding of these provisions is important to the U.S. as the Lacey Act permits enfcrcement of the wildlife laws of foreign countries when violated in the U.S.

The Export Policy regulated by the Ministry of Commerce bans certain items for export. This ban includes all species covered by the Wildlife (Preservation) (Amendment Act, except for items listed on Schedule One (excluding frogs and frog legs). Bangladesh Customs has the primary responsibility for monitoring imports and exports of commodities including wildlife.

Bangladesh's legal authority to conserve wildlife extends only to wild fauna. There are no legal provisions for the protection of wild flora.

International Wildlife Trade: The country currently has no trade in Appendix II species. However, the country exported frozen bullfrog (Rana tigrina) legs up to 1989. This species was exported in large numbers to the US, Canada and The Netherlands from 1985 until 1989. After a cc intry-wide survey conducted by the Forest Department, it was found that the species could not be exported without disturbing the ecosystem. The second item that was traded was Testudo elongata. Its trade is now suspended by an Executive Order of the Bangladesh Government and a field survey is underway for a future trade plan. No wildlife species will be allowed to be harvested in the future for commercial purposes without having thorough status and ecological studies done on it by the Office of the Chief Conservator of Forest.

2 In-Country Wildlife Trade: Serious concern was raised by the U.S. representatives regarding the domestic trade of illegal wildlife within Bangladesh. The wildlife trade was obviously geared toward tourists, as the majority of items available were sold in the local high-priced hotel shops. Items available for included sale tiqer skins, tiger claws, ivory, crocodile skins and products, snake skins and products, and possibly some monkey products. Many of these items are prohibited in international trade. The Ministry knew that the trade was occurring, but believed that the people must be willing to recognize that the trade was detrimental. To this end, a major education campaign was launched in April, 1995, by the Ministry which includes posters, stickers and ultimately billboards all advocating wildlife conservation (Appendices VI and VII). WORKSHOP IMPLEMENTATION

Conduct of the Workshop: The Fish and Wildlife Service instructor team was in Bangladesh from April 17 to 29 (Appendix VIII). The days preceding the workshop were spent in meetings with officials of the Government of Bangladesh in which CITES issues were discussed and in preparation for the workshop. The days following the workshop were spent meeting with government and non-government officials and visiting sites relevant to conservation of CITES listed species (a crocodile farming facility and a private garden which conserves certain CITES listed plants).

The workshop was held at the Bana Bhaban, Mohakhali, Dhaka April from 22 to 26, 1995. It was conducted in English by the U.S. representatives, but much of the host country presentations were in the native language. Twenty-four participants drawn from the Office of the Chief Conservator of Forest, Police, Customs, and one member of a non-governmental organization attended (Appendix IX). Dr. Shamsur Rahman, Chief Conservator of Forest In-charge chaired the workshop with Mr. Syed Amir-ul-Mulk, Additional Secretary In-charge.

The workshop initially focused on CITES background information including history, structure and objectives of CITES; the history of CITES in Bangladesh; an overview of the CITES's process Bangladesh in and a review of the national laws relative to wildlife law enforcement. It then went on to discussions relevant to CITES administration including definitions, the species included on the CITES appendices, and the principles and procedures for use of the different appendices.

The discussions of the second day covered procedures for

3 specimens bred in captivity; global and regional trade concerns; quotas; re-exports; the annual report and how to use it; how to read a CITES document; presentation of the CITES document of Bangladesh and methods of document analysis. By the third day attention turned to types of document fraud and inspection techniques. This included training on types of inspections (in particular passenger baggage, air/ocean cargo and land/border inspections); smuggling techniques; safety practices for inspectors; humane shipping requirements; and disposition and use of confiscated specimens.

The fourth day of the workshop emphasized wildlife law enforcement including wildlife legislaticon, training needs, how to conduct a criminal investigation, investigation techniques, and case profiles. The fifth and final day cf the program included presentations on the Service's National Wildlife Forensic Laboratory and how it can assist Bangladesh; establishing an international wildlife law enforcement program and species identification. Mr. Syed Amir-ul-Mulk led the closing ceremonies (Appendix X).

Each student was presented with a copy of the CITES treaty; the current listing of CITES protected species; a student participation manual relating to the basic topics of CITES principles; a manual with detailed identification, inspection and investigative materials for further study; a CITES bird identification guide prepared by Environment Canada/Canadian Fish and Wildlife Service; and a Certificate of Participation. The CITES Secretariat provided a copy of the CITES Identification manuals which were presented to the Bangladesh Management Authority.

Financial Support: This workshop was made possible by cost­ sharing expenses among the partners (Appendix XI) . The Ministry funded rental of the workshop site, travel and per diem of participants, and other costs incurred in Bangladesh related to presentation of the workshop. USAEP funded the international travel cost and per diem for two of the three Service instructors. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funded the travel and per diem costs of one of the Service instructors, the salary of the Service instructors and development of the law enforcement handouts and audio-visual materials.

4 ACCOMPLISHMENTS The major accomplishment of this workshop was the presentation of the CITES implementation training to Bangladesh's Authority Management and enforcement agencies' personnel involved of illegal trade in control in wildlife. The participants now have an increased awareness of the different roles that they and their agencies play In the implementation and enforcement of CITES. Various agencies responsible for enforcing wildlife were able trade laws to meet for the first time through the presentation this workshop. of It was clear that little interagency interaction had occurred prior to the workshop. The workshop provided the opportunity for media coverage regarding wildlife conservation in Bangladesh that will the awareness increase of the general public (Appendix XII). This coverage reinforced the current education program on wildlife conservation being carried out by the Ministry of Environment and Forest.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION Legislation surrounding the wildlife trade should be analyzed for possible changes. Currently, Bangladesh cannot fulfill its obligations under CITES with respect to the plant trade. There is no legislation that addresses plants whether CITES or not. In addition, the schedules under the Wildlife Protection Act should be updated to reflect any species prohibited from trade by CITES. It is especially important for officials of the government's wildlife conservation agency to meet frequently with customs officials who are ultimately responsible for overseeinq wildlife imports any cr exports. These meetings are needed fet coordination and training purposes. Much more coordination between the two agencies must be established in order down to crack on any illegal activity. A great deal of additional training in identification and legal authority must customs be given to officials, as well as to other police agencies responsible for the wildlife trade.

Although the Ministry's current wildlife conservation program education will be helpful in increasing support for conservation among the general public, domestic enforcement of the laws should wildlife not be overlooked. Because so much of the domestic illegal trade is geared toward tourists, it is strongly recommended that incoming and outgoing tourist and customs

5 information state the wildlife prohibitions quite clearly.

Due to Bangladesh's concerns with cross border smuggling recommended it is that some kind of a joint regional meeting or event be held to facilitate interaction with the countries of Indian subcontinent the (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bhutan). The purpose of such a meeting discuss could be to common border wildlife trade problems and find solutions to prevent large scale smuggling operations. Finally, it should be noted that any future workshops or sessions carried out in Bangladesh on this subject consider having English translator an present. It was felt that much of the content of the workshop was lost for some individuals because of language barriers. In addition, the English speaking instructors were not able to participate in any discussions or ceremonies carried out in the local language. This workshop was a very good beginning point for CITES training in Bangladesh. It is clear that Bangladesh has a strong legislative structure with which to address wildlife trade issues. However it must be stressed that stronger interagency coordination is needed and additional opportunities to reinforce the training of personnel and implementation of the procedures CITES should be encouraged both within Bangladesh and between Bangladesh and neighboring countries.
