FOREWORD

This Directory of CITES Management Authorities, Scientific Authorities, and Experts in Plant Issues related to CITES for Central and South America and the Caribbean, has been prepared following Resolution Conf. 11.1, Annex 2, paragraph e, and the decision made at the 11th Annual Meeting of the CITES Plants Committee held in Langkawi, Malaysia in September, 2001.

A draft directory was initially prepared, based on the official CITES Directory published in September of 2001. Lists of participants at a number of CITES related meetings were also used. We acknowledge the help and support of the Colombian Management Authority, the Cites Secretariat and the Plants Committee not only during the initial stages but also throughout the whole process of preparation of the Directory. In the end it was possible to obtain addresses and other additional information for the great majority of the 31 countries that make up the Region.

The available information, together with a very simple questionnaire (Annex 1), was sent (via e-mail or fax), to each individual or institution listed in the draft directory. This important initial step was carried out during late October and early November, 2001.

Answers were received from most people and institutions contacted at that time. By January of 2002 a great deal of new or up-dated information on Management and Scientific Authorities was already available. Many names of experts had also been received.

Later stages of the project were a bit more difficult to accomplish as contacts with experts were not always possible or they took a long time to be completed.

Decisions had to be made as to whether some names of experts should or should not be included in the Directory. For the most part, only experts for whom complete information was available (name, postal address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address) and whose field of expertise was clearly established, were included. A few cases remain where experts with little information about them or who can be considered only as possible contacts, were included (see Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago).

During the final stages of the project we have been fortunate to have received the support of botanical colleagues not necessarily associated with CITES, but who have helped establish important contacts in their countries or regions.

Countries are arranged in alphabetical order. For each country, the Directory includes the country´s Management Authority or Authorities, followed by the Scientific Authority or Authorities and the list of Experts. In a few cases (see, for example, Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica), in addition to the Management and Scientific authorities, the names and addresses of individual members of those authorities devoted specifically to plant issues were provided by our contacts. These individuals are included in the Directory under the small heading “Persons involved in CITES plant issues.” By the time the Directory Management and Scientific Authorities, Contact Persons and Experts Involved in CITES Plant Issues 4 was finished, only two countries (of a total of 31) did not respond at any time and are so indicated in the text.

This Directory contains, therefore, important up-dated information about the authorities in charge of the enforcement of CITES for each Party to the Convention from the Central and South America and Caribbean Region. It should be kept in mind, nevertheless, that changes in personnel occur all the time and for different reasons. The Directory here presented is the best possible result at this point in time.

English was chosen as the base language for the general format of the Directory. However, it is obvious that many items such as postal addresses, people´s positions and so on, are either in Spanish or in Portuguese.

The project entitled “Preparation of CITES Regional Directory for Central and South America and the Caribbean” was carried out under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Colombian Academy of Sciences (Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales - ACCEFYN) and the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (The CITES Secretariat), Account No. XT/1200-98-70-2113.

PRESENTACIÓN

Este Directorio de Autoridades Administrativas, Autoridades Científicas y Expertos en Plantas de Interés para CITES, correspondiente a la Región de América Central, del Sur y el Caribe, ha sido preparado en cumplimiento de lo establecido en la Resolución Conf. 11.1, Anexo 2, parágrafo e, y lo decidido en la 11ª. Reunión Anual del Comité de Flora realizada en Langkawi, Malasia, en septiembre de 2001.

Inicialmente se preparó un borrador del directorio teniendo como base en el directorio oficial publicado por CITES en septiembre de 2001. También se emplearon listas de participantes en diversas reuniones relacionadas con CITES. Agradecemos la ayuda y el apoyo recibido de la Autoridad Administrativa CITES de Colombia, del Secretariado de CITES y del Comité de Plantas, no solo durante los estados iniciales sino durante todo el proceso de preparación del Directorio. Así fue posible obtener direcciones y otras informaciones adicionales para la gran mayoría de los 31 países que conforman la región.

La información entonces disponible se envió por correo electrónico o fax, junto con un cuestionario muy sencillo (Anexo 1), a cada una de las personas y entidades que aparecían en la lista preliminar. Este importante paso inicial se adelantó durante los últimos días del mes de octubre y la primera semana del mes de noviembre de 2001.

Se recibieron respuestas de la mayor parte de esas personas y entidades. Para enero de 2002 ya se tenía una gran cantidad de datos nuevos o actualizados sobre las Autoridades Administrativas y Científicas. También se habían recibido muchos nombres de expertos en plantas de interés para CITES.

Las últimas etapas de preparación del Directorio han sido un poco más difíciles pues los contactos con los expertos no siempre han sido posibles y en otros casos la confirmación de la información disponible ha demorado bastante tiempo.

Ha sido necesario tomar decisiones sobre si los nombres de algunos expertos deberían incluirse en el Directorio. Se ha optado, en consecuencia, por mantener únicamente aquellos nombres para quienes se posee información completa (Nombre, dirección postal, teléfono, fax, dirección electrónica) y cuya área de especialización estaba claramente definida. Solo en unos pocos casos se incluyen nombres de expertos para quienes se tiene poca información o personas que pueden ser posibles contactos (véanse Guyana y Trinidad y Tobago).

Durante las últimas etapas del proyecto hemos tenido la fortuna de contar con la colaboración de muchos colegas que, sin estar necesariamente asociados con CITES, han hecho posible que se establezcan contactos en sus respectivos países o regiones.

Los países están organizados en orden alfabético en el Directorio. Para cada país se incluyen - en su orden - las Autoridades Administrativas, las Autoridades Científicas y los Expertos. En algunos casos (véanse, por ejemplo, Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica), además de la información sobre la Autoridad Administrativa o la Autoridad Científica, se Management and Scientific Authorities, Contact Persons and Experts Involved in CITES Plant Issues 6 recibieron los nombres de las personas en cada una de esas autoridades dedicadas específicamente a los asuntos de CITES. Estos individuos se incluyen en el Directorio bajo el subtítulo “Persons involved in CITES plant issues”. Para cuando el Directorio fue concluido, solo dos de los 31 países no habían respondido y así se indica en el texto.

El presente Directorio contiene, pues, información importante y actualizada sobre las autoridades encargadas de la implementación de CITES en todos los Países Parte en la Región de América Central, del Sur y el Caribe. Debe recordarse, sin embargo, que con frecuencia se producen cambios de personal por diferentes razones. El Directorio que aquí se presenta es el mejor resultado posible en este momento.

Se escogió el idioma inglés como base para el formato general del Directorio. Sin embargo, como es obvio, muchas de las direcciones postales, los cargos o posiciones de las personas y otros datos aparecen en español o en francés.
