One of these times is now, as I prepare to stand down from my 17 years’ involvement with the Council and the last 10 years as its Chairman. Along the way there have been many memorable moments. These include events such as the IAA in Frankfurt, Techno Clas- sica, the Mille Miglia, the Villa D’Este Concorso, and of course BMW Motorrad Days. And I think not just of the events, but often the drives to get there. Be it through the scenery of Bavaria and northern Italy, across Death Valley, along the coast near Cape Town or the pristine beauty of New Zealand’s South Island. Events and Council meetings themselves invoke many fond memories, from a unique dinner on the 50 yard line in the Skydome in Toronto, to a boisterous beer or three in the beer tents at several Oktoberfests in Munich. But one factor remained constant, wherever I was, and whatever I was doing, I was sharing the ex- perience with BMW friends. I have always said clubs are not formed by cars or motorcycles, but by people – passionate and enthusiastic BMW owners. I have had the pleasure of meeting numerous members from clubs throughout the world as well as from the BMW corporate family.

  • 2014 State of Ivory Demand in China
    2012–2014 ABOUT WILDAID WildAid’s mission is to end the illegal wildlife trade in our lifetimes by reducing demand through public awareness campaigns and providing comprehensive marine protection. The illegal wildlife trade is estimated to be worth over $10 billion (USD) per year and has drastically reduced many wildlife populations around the world. Just like the drug trade, law and enforcement efforts have not been able to resolve the problem. Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent protecting animals in the wild, yet virtually nothing is spent on stemming the demand for wildlife parts and products. WildAid is the only organization focused on reducing the demand for these products, with the strong and simple message: when the buying stops, the killing can too. Via public service announcements and short form documentary pieces, WildAid partners with Save the Elephants, African Wildlife Foundation, Virgin Unite, and The Yao Ming Foundation to educate consumers and reduce the demand for ivory products worldwide. Through our highly leveraged pro-bono media distribution outlets, our message reaches hundreds of millions of people each year in China alone. www.wildaid.org CONTACT INFORMATION WILDAID 744 Montgomery St #300 San Francisco, CA 94111 Tel: 415.834.3174 Christina Vallianos [email protected] Special thanks to the following supporters & partners PARTNERS who have made this work possible: Beijing Horizonkey Information & Consulting Co., Ltd.

  • Quarterlyspring 2000 Volume 49 Number 2
    AWI QuarterlySpring 2000 Volume 49 Number 2 ABOUT THE COVER For 25 years, the tiger (Panthera tigris) has been on Appendix I of the Conven- tion on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), but an illegal trade in tiger skins and bones (which are used in traditional Chinese medicines) persists. Roughly 5,000 to 7,000 tigers have survived to the new millennium. Without heightened vigilance to stop habitat destruction, poaching and illegal commercialization of tiger parts in consuming countries across the globe, the tiger may be lost forever. Tiger Photos: Robin Hamilton/EIA AWI QuarterlySpring 2000 Volume 49 Number 2 CITES 2000 The Future of Wildlife In a New Millennium The Eleventh Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 11) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) will take place in Nairobi, Kenya from April 10 – 20, 2000. Delegates from 150 nations will convene to decide the fate of myriad species across the globe, from American spotted turtles to Zimbabwean elephants. They will also examine ways in which the Treaty can best prevent overexploitation due to international trade by discussing issues such as the trade in bears, bushmeat, rhinos, seahorses and tigers. Adam M. Roberts and Ben White will represent the Animal Welfare Institute at the meeting and will work on a variety of issues of importance to the Institute and its members. Pages 8–13 of this issue of the AWI Quarterly, written by Adam M. Roberts (unless noted otherwise), outline our perspectives on a few of the vital issues for consideration at the CITES meeting.

INTRODUCION At least forty thousand primates are traded internationally every year.' Of these, at least thirteen thousand are sold illegally.2 Smugglers are currently trading live, endangered primates throughout the world,3 and statistics indicate that unless this trade is stopped, certain primates, such as the gorilla and wild chimpanzee, will shortly be extinct.4 Over the last twenty years, commerce practices have caused between forty and ninety thousand needless chimpanzee deaths.5 The effect of these deaths on the viability of the species is profound. Field surveys estimate the current world chimpanzee population at less than 250,000 individuals.
