PC19 Doc. 14.3
CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES
OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA

____________

Nineteenth meeting of the Plants Committee
Geneva (Switzerland), 18-21 April 2011

Amendments to the Appendices MADAGASCAR (DECISION 15.97)

1. This document has been prepared by the Nomenclature Specialist of the Plants Committee in consultation with Madagascar^*. The annex to this document is provided in the language in which it was submitted.

Decision 15.97 2. The fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties adopted Decision 15.97 which states:

Directed to Madagascar and to the Plants Committee

a) Review and gather further information on the succulent taxa proposed for listing at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties but not adopted;

b) Review and gather further information on species (including tree species) which would benefit from CITES listing;

c) Identify mechanisms to help build capacity to carry out non-detriment findings for currently listed species; and,

d) Report on their work at the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties and, if necessary, prepare proposals to amend the Appendices for submission at that meeting.

Implementation for tree species 3. Subparagraph b) directs Madagascar and the Plants Committee to gather information on additional species which would benefit from CITES listing. To help facilitate this process in the selection of tree species for CITES listings this document brings together relevant data on species of Dalbergia and Diospyros likely to be endemic to the island of Madagascar. Annex 1 and 2 includes tables which summaries, inter alia, the information collated to date on taxonomy, distribution and conservation status. It also outlines those taxa which Madagascar currently consider as potential candidates for CITES Appendix II.

*

The geographical designations employed in this document do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the CITES Secretariat or the United Nations Environment Programme concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The responsibility for the contents of the document rests exclusively with its author.

PC19 Doc. 14.3– p. 1
Recommendations to the Plants Committee 4. The Plants Committee is asked to: a) Make use of this information when considering a mechanism to implement Decision 15.97; b) Review the list to identify and confirm potential candidates for CITES listing; c) Consider the issues of practical identification of the wood and their products in trade and identify priority areas for research on same;

d) Review at what taxonomic or other level the listings should be made to best assist implementation and enforcement;

e) Review what annotation should apply to CITES Appendix II listings to best assist implementation and enforcement;

f) Consider what identification material will be required to identify the woods and their products if regulated; and

g) Outline and support a process that will bring forward comprehensive proposals to list the selected taxa on the Appendices of the Convention in time for consideration by the 16^thmeeting of the Conference of the Parties.
