A decision to form a public body called the Sariska Sansad (Sariska Parliament), which involve the village communities as well as the forest department in park management decisions, was taken at a workshop held on September 8‐10. It was organised by Tarun Bharat Sangh ( tbs), a voluntary agency that has been supporting the villages in building traditional earthen check‐dams called johad s for the past 15 years, which has revived the ecology and the economy of the region. Though the workshop was well attended, only two recommendations came out of it. The first is to put a blanket ban on all tourist activity in the tiger reserve in the July‐September period, which is the breeding season for wild animals. The second is to stop all mining activity in and around the reserve. Another issue that came up was the moving of some villages from the core area of the reserve and rehabilitating them outside. If it happens, this would hasten the elevation of the reserve to the status of a national park, which has been high on the agenda of the state forest department ever since it was proposed in 1982 and then again in 1984.

Proposal The proponents propose delisting of Dalbergia sissoo DC., from CITES Appendix II as it does not meet the listing criteria set out in Article II [(paragraphs 2(a)]of the Convention text or the criteria laid down in Annex 2(a) of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP17). The species is widely distributed and in India it is found abundantly in wild and on cultivation as well. The species has very fast growth rate and capacity to become naturalized outside of its native range, even it is invasive in some parts of the world. The regulation of trade in the species is not necessary to avoid it becoming eligible for inclusion in Appendix I in the near future and the harvest of specimens from the wild is not reducing the wild population to a level at which its survival might be threatened by continued harvesting or other influences.
