AC17 Doc. 7.2 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________ Seventeenth meeting of the Animals Committee Hanoi (Viet Nam), 30 July-3 August 2001 Implementation of Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.) REVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS (PART I: LIST OF SPECIES PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED) This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 1. At the 16th meeting of the Animals Committee, the Secretariat informed the Committee that it had decided to review the implementation of all recommendations that have been formulated by the Committee in the context of Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.) and that the Committee would be informed of the results of this review, which was expected to become available over the following 12 to 18 months. The Committee supported this initiative. 2. The Secretariat was requested to provide a list of animal species that were or had been subject to the Review of Significant Trade for the 17th meeting of the Animals Committee. 3. The Annex to this document presents, as a first step, a list of all the animal species that have been reviewed pursuant to Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.) and for which the Committee has formulated recommendations. This Annex is the result of Part I of the review referred to in paragraph 1. Part II, which will describe the implementation of earlier primary and secondary recommendations made by the Animals Committee concerning species that were included in the Review of Significant Trade, will be presented at a future meeting of the Committee. AC17 Doc. 7.2 – p. 1 AC17 Doc. 7.2 – p. 2 AC17 Doc. 7.2 Annex REVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION CONF. 8.9. (REV.) PART I List of species previously reviewed by the Animals Committee pursuant to Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.) 1. Since the adoption of Resolution Conf. 8.9 at the eight meeting of the Conference of the Parties in 1992 (amended at the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties), a range of Appendix-II species have been the subject of detailed reviews of biological, trade and other relevant information by the Animals Committee. These reviews were aimed at identifying possible problems in the implementation of Article IV, paragraphs 2 (a) and 3 for the species and range States concerned. 2. There have been four phases in the implementation of Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.), each beginning with the selection of a number of species by the Animals Committee and with desk studies of these being carried out by UNEP-WCMC, IUCN and TRAFFIC. Drafts of the resulting reports were sent to range Sates for comments. The final reports of the first three phases were sent to all Parties for information (with Notification to the Parties Nos. 702, 785 and 917). Draft reports of the fourth phase were disseminated at the 15th and 16th meetings of the Animals Committee. The draft report presented at the 16th meeting of the Animals Committee was put on the website of the Secretariat, where the final versions will become available in future. 3. In the first phase, 27 taxa were the subject of detailed reviews and recommendations. The recommendations of the Animals Committee were sent to the Sates concerned in June 1992. 122 taxa were reviewed under the second phase, and recommendations were sent in January 1994. The recommendations concerning the 24 taxa reviewed under the third phase were sent to the Parties concerned in March 1996. In the fourth phase, 52 taxa were selected for review. Recommendations were forwarded to the States concerned in January 2000 (for 37 species), February 2001 (for 10 species of Acipenseriformes) and March 2001 (for 5 species). 4. The time schedules of the four phases are summarized in the following table: AC17 Doc. 7.2 – p. 3 Phase Dates that species Review and Recommendations were listed as subject recommendations by AC sent to Parties to significant trade Relevant valid Notifications to the Parties Phase 1 August 1991 (AC5) March 1992 (AC7) June 1992 CoP8 to CoP9 (Final report: March Notification No. 688 1993 - 24 taxa) (24/08/92) Phase 2 August 1991 (AC5); September 1993 (AC9) January 1994 CoP8 to CoP9 March 1992 (AC7) Notification No. 784 (Final report: June (10/03/94) 1993 – 122 taxa) Phase 3 May 1994 (AC 10) September 1995 (AC12) March 1996 CoP9 to CoP10 September 1995 Notification No. (AC12) 1999/20 (Final report: March (12/03/1999) 1996 – 24 taxa) Phase 4 May 1998 (AC14); July 1999 (AC15 - 37 January 2000 and CoP10 to CoP11 April 2000 (CoP11) taxa) September 2000; (Draft reports: December 2000 (AC16 - February 2001 and March 1998, July 15 taxa) March 2001 1999, June 1999 – 37 taxa; December 2000 – 15 taxa) 5. The table below provides a list of all the animal taxa (in alphabetic order) that have been reviewed from January 1992 to June 2001 pursuant to Resolution Conf. 8.9 (Rev.), with an indication of the phases in which the taxa were reviewed and when the Animals Committee reviewed the taxa and formulated recommendations. Where recommendations were not made for a species but for a higher taxon, all species included in the higher taxon have been included in the table. This was the case for Dusicyon spp. (four species), Moschus spp. (four species), Tupinambis spp. (three species), Chamaeleo spp. (39 species from Madagascar), Phelsuma spp. (25 species from Madagascar) and Tridacnidae spp. (six species).

The species listed in the Annexes include the species set out in the Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora signed in 1973 (2) (the Convention) as well as species whose conservation status requires that trade from, into and within the Union be regulated or monitored. (2) Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of specimens of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. (3) On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group established pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 would be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not prohibited.

    AC29 Doc. 13.3 Annex 2 Selection of species for inclusion in the Review of Significant Trade following CoP17 To comply with Stage 1 a) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP17) and the Guidance regarding the selection of species/country combinations outlined in Annex 2 of the Resolution, the UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) has produced an extended analysis to assist the Animals Committee with their work in selecting species for inclusion in the Review of Significant Trade following CoP17. A summary output, providing trade in wild, ranched, source unknown and trade without a source specified over the five most recent years (2011-2015), to accompany this analysis is provided in AC29 Doc. 13.3, Annex 1. The methodology for the extended analysis was discussed by the 2nd meeting of the Advisory Working Group (AWG) of the Evaluation of the Review of Significant Trade (Shepherdstown, 2015). The AWG concluded that three criteria should be retained within the methodology (“high volume trade/high volume trade for globally threatened species”, “sharp increase in trade” and “endangered species in trade”), but that two previously used criteria added little value to the prioritisation exercise (“high variability in trade” and “overall increase/overall decrease in trade”). In addition, it was agreed to refine the methodology for “High Volume” trade to ensure that thresholds are set at a fine taxonomic resolution (order level) to ensure representation for all taxonomic orders. It was also agreed to include analysis of “Sharp Increase” in trade at the country level, as well as at the global level.

    1 Annual Portfolio Overview Wallacea Biodiversity Hotspot 30 June 2018

    Annual Portfolio Overview Wallacea Biodiversity Hotspot 30 June 2018 (FY 18) 1. Introduction The Wallacea region, which includes the whole of Timor-Leste and the central portion of Indonesia, including the major island groups of Sulawesi, Maluku, and the Lesser Sundas, qualifies as a hotspot due to its high levels of plant endemism and extensive habitat loss. The chief causes of habitat loss include overexploitation of natural resources, degradation, fragmentation, and conversion, and pressure from human population growth and economic development. Wallacea is an island landscape, with over 1,680 islands and 30 million people, the majority of whom live in coastal areas earning their living from farms, forests, wetlands, and the sea. The Wallacea region, first described biologically by Alfred Russel Wallace in 1869, is noteworthy for having fauna and flora that are distinct from the Asian biogeographic realm to the west and the Australian-Pacific biogeographic realm to the south and east. The many islands are varied – volcanic, non-volcanic, continental crusts, and composites – and are separated by shallow seas in some cases and trenches as deep as 7,000 meters in others. Powerful currents connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans flow through the region, creating barriers to dispersal of species. The complex geography and barriers to movement have led to the region’s high biodiversity. Among the hotspot’s endemic species are 1,500 vascular plants, 127 mammals, 274 birds, 99 reptiles, 33 amphibians, 50 freshwater fish, and 110 marine fish. There are also as many as 400 species of coral in the region. Notable endemic species include tarsiers, macaques, Flores hawk-eagle (Nisaetus floris), and Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis).

    REVIEW OF TRADE IN RANCHED BIRDWING BUTTERFLIES (Version edited for public release) Prepared for the European Commission Directorate General E - Environment ENV.E.2. – Development and Environment by the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre November, 2007 Prepared and produced by: UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Cambridge, UK ABOUT UNEP WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE www.unep-wcmc.org The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre is the biodiversity assessment and policy implementation arm of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the world‟s foremost intergovernmental environmental organisation. UNEP-WCMC aims to help decision-makers recognize the value of biodiversity to people everywhere, and to apply this knowledge to all that they do. The Centre‟s challenge is to transform complex data into policy-relevant information, to build tools and systems for analysis and integration, and to support the needs of nations and the international community as they engage in joint programmes of action. UNEP-WCMC provides objective, scientifically rigorous products and services that include ecosystem assessments, support for implementation of environmental agreements, regional and global biodiversity information, research on threats and impacts, and development of future scenarios for the living world. The contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of UNEP or contributory organisations. The designations employed and the presentations do not imply the expressions of any opinion whatsoever on the part of UNEP, the European Commission or contributory organisations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or its authority, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
