In Brazil it communication and information exchange upon which occurs in the federal States of Amazonas, Pará and CITES depends. Amapá. Its occurrence is occasional, with an irregular distribution. At present, the species is only being legally exploited in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. Its export value derives primarily from its oil which is used in the perfume and cosmetic industry. CITES aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival in the wild. Signatory countries adjust their laws to implement the convention. International collaboration required by CITES therefore depends on a good mutual understanding of national Catherine Rutherford and Paulo Carmo visiting a plantation and measures between signatory countries. oil processing factory in Maués This mission’s consultation on the production and harvesting of Brazilian rosewood from plantation trees confirmed Brazil’s compliance with requirements for the import of the tree’s essential oil to the EU. The rationale behind EU’s detailed information requests and how they facilitate trade were clarified. The mission allowed a comprehensive review of the partnerships and measures being implemented in Brazil through meetings with research institutes, regulatory authorities and plantation managers. Brazilian research findings on rosewood taxonomy are expected to influence CITES procedures. The discussions sealed personal relations between the Aniba rosaeodora (Brazilian rosewood) saplings in a nursery at EU experts and Brazilian stakeholders.

To stimulate demand, TAIEF services could be presented at upcoming international CITES meetings in preparation for the next COP at the end of 2016 (e.g. specialised committee meetings like the Plants and the Animals Committees meeting later this year). Technical support: TAIEF could support international cooperation on technical issues related to CITES listed flora and fauna.

  • Notice to the Wildlife Import/Export Community
    NOTICE TO THE WILDLIFE IMPORT/EXPORT COMMUNITY June 8, 2010 Subject: Changes to CITES Species Listings Background: Party countries of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meet approximately every two years for a Conference of the Parties. During these meetings, countries review and vote on amendments to the listings of protected species in CITES Appendix I and Appendix II. Such amendments become effective 90 days after the last day of the meeting unless Party countries agree to delay implementation. The most recent Conference of the Parties (CoP 15) was held in Doha, Qatar, March 13-15, 2010. Action: The amendments to CITES Appendices I and II that appear below (which were adopted at CoP 15) will be effective on June 23, 2010. Any specimens of these species imported into, or exported from, the United States on or after June 23, 2010 will require CITES documentation as specified under the amended listings. The import, export, or re-export of shipments of these species that are accompanied by CITES documents reflecting a pre-June 23 listing status or that lack CITES documents because no listing was previously in effect must be completed by midnight (local time at the point of import/export) on June 22, 2010. Importers and exporters can find the official revised CITES appendices on the CITES website at http://www.cites.org. Species Added to Appendix I Neurergus kaiseri (Kaiser’s spotted newt) Species Added to Appendix II Adenia olaboensis (Adenia) Agalychnis annae (Blue-sided tree frog) Agalychnis callidryas

  • The Complete Chloroplast Genome of Cinnamomum Camphora and Its Comparison with Related Lauraceae Species
    The complete chloroplast genome of Cinnamomum camphora and its comparison with related Lauraceae species Caihui Chen1,2, Yongjie Zheng2, Sian Liu1, Yongda Zhong3, Yanfang Wu2, Jiang Li2, Li-An Xu1 and Meng Xu1 1 Co-Innovation Center for Sustainable Forestry in Southern China, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China 2 Camphor Engineering Technology Research Center for State Forestry Administration, Jiangxi Academy of Forestry, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China 3 Institute of Biological Resources, Jiangxi Academy of Science, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China ABSTRACT Cinnamomum camphora, a member of the Lauraceae family, is a valuable aromatic and timber tree that is indigenous to the south of China and Japan. All parts of Cinnamomum camphora have secretory cells containing different volatile chemical compounds that are utilized as herbal medicines and essential oils. Here, we reported the complete sequencing of the chloroplast genome of Cinnamomum camphora using illumina technology. The chloroplast genome of Cinnamomum camphora is 152,570 bp in length and characterized by a relatively conserved quadripartite structure containing a large single copy region of 93,705 bp, a small single copy region of 19,093 bp and two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 19,886 bp. Overall, the genome contained 123 coding regions, of which 15 were repeated in the IR regions. An analysis of chloroplast sequence divergence revealed that the small single copy region was highly variable among the different genera in the Lauraceae family. A total of 40 repeat structures and 83 simple sequence repeats were detected in both the coding and non-coding regions. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that Calycanthus is most closely related to Lauraceae, both being members of Laurales, Submitted 7 June 2017 which forms a sister group to Magnoliids.

Over 560 tree species are currently included in the Appendices of the Convention, either listed at species or generic level. The listings include some of the world's most precious and most threatened timbers (308 species), trees which are also of immense ecological importance. It also includes at least 54 species traded for their resin e.g. Aquilaria and Gyrinops, and trees traded for their medicinal and other desirable properties. The Global Tree Assessment (GTA), an initiative launched in 2015, aims to assess the conservation status of all the world's tree species by 2020 as a basis for conservation policy implementation and action. With over 60,000 known tree species, the GTA is the largest biodiversity assessment ever undertaken at a species level.

  • Aniba Rosaeodora Ducke, Lauraceae): an Ecological Approach
    Genetic diversity in rosewood saplings (Aniba rosaeodora ducke, Lauraceae): an ecological approach Ronaldo Pereira SANTOS1, Wilson Roberto SPIRONELLO2, Paulo de Tarso Barbosa SAMPAIO3 ABSTRACT This article takes an ecological approach to the genetic diversity of Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke) in a central Amazonian terra firme forest north of Manaus. Planted Rosewood setting, under partial shaded canopy, were assessed in terms of fruiting production, frugivory, and seed dispersal. Using RAPD molecular analysis procedures, the influence of the spatial distribution of adult trees on the genetic diversity (polymorphism) of saplings was assessed with genetic samples from 34 reproductive trees and 60 saplings. The density and distribution patterns the reproductive trees did not modify the sapling’s diversity (1.86%, AMOVA). Two types of adult tree dispersion were identified; i) clumped and ii) more widely dispersed. Polymorphism (77.5%) and gene flow were high between these. Although more sapling genetic variability in areas with a higher density of mature plants was not as high as expected, density did not affect the genetic diversity of samplings, indicating a high incidence of gene flow amongst trees. In planted Rosewood population (surrounded by low disturbed forest), fruiting trees experienced a high level of removal of seeds by toucans (Rhamphastidae), about of 50%. The high gene flow found among native trees suggested that toucans, promoting seed rain at short and long distances from maternal trees, actively contribute to the maintenance of genetic diversity within wild rosewood populations. KEY WORDS: Amazonian tree, RAPD, seed dispersal, gene flow, genetic diversity. Diversidade genética em plantas jovens de Pau-rosa (Aniba Rosaeodora Ducke, Lauraceae): uma abordagem ecológica RESUMO Dados genéticos e ecológicos foram obtidos do Pau-rosa (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke) em uma floresta de terra firme localizada ao norte de Manaus.
