Chapter 2: Housing and Handling of Animals 13 Section 1: General Provisions Article 3 Basic principles14 1 Animals must be kept in a manner that does not interfere with their bodily functions or their behaviour, nor overtax their capacity to adapt.15 2 Housing systems and enclosures must be fitted with suitable feeding, drinking and dunging areas, places to rest and withdraw under cover, opportunities to perform ex- ploratory behaviour, grooming facilities and different climatic zones. 3 Feeding and care are suitable if, according to existing experience and current knowledge concerning physiology, animal behaviour and hygiene, they meet the ani- mals' needs. 4 Animals must not be kept permanently tethered. Article 4 Feeding 1 Animals must be regularly and adequately supplied with suitable feed and water. If animals are kept in groups, the animal keeper must ensure that every animal receives sufficient feed and water. 2 Animals must be able to perform species-specific foraging behaviour. 3 Live animals can only be fed to wild animals. This is subject to the condition that the wild animal shows normal catching and killing behaviour and: a. the wild animal’s nutrition cannot be provided by dead animals or other feed; b. reintroduction to the wild is planned; or c. the wild animals and the prey animals are kept in a shared enclosure, which must also be set up to meet the needs of the prey animal.

He or she must immediately correct any deficiencies of the facili- ties that impair the well-being of the animals or take appropriate action to protect the animals. 2 The care provided should prevent diseases and injuries. The animal keeper is re- sponsible for ensuring that sick or injured animals are housed, cared for and treated without delay or euthanized according to their condition. The facilities required for this must be available as needed within a useful time frame. It must be possible to safely restrain the animals for veterinary or other treatments. 3 The housing conditions must not unnecessarily restrict species-specific grooming behaviour. If it is restricted, substitute care must be provided. 4 Hoofs, claws and nails must be regularly and properly looked after and clipped as necessary.

When processes acting on certain life stages cannot be measured, extrapolations are often made. A previous study documented that the range of the turtle Myuchelys georgesi is restricted to the Bellinger River, New South Wales, Australia, and its population is stable. We assessed whether M. georgesi selects certain habitats by comparing their distribution among different water holes. We assessed the threat of catfish predation by examining the stomach contents of catfish specimens. We then evaluated whether threats to M. georgesi were likely to have been underestimated by extending our previous demographic model. We did this by revising the previous estimates of adult, juvenile, and hatchling survivorship under hypothetical variations in water hole use and in the presence or absence of catfish predators. We found that M. georgesi preferentially uses moderate to deep water holes. We also found that although catfish 250À400 mm consume hatchling or juvenile turtles, those .

    MINISTERIO DEL AMBIENTE Y DE LOS RECURSOS NATURALES En el mes de junio de 1992, en el marco de la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo, Venezuela suscribió el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica, el cual fue ratificado por el entonces Congreso de la República en el año 1994 por lo que es una ley aprobatoria. La aplicación de este Convenio significó un cambio conceptual al reconocer a los Estados sus derechos soberanos sobre los recursos biológicos, y al declarar la conservación de la diversidad biológica como patrimonio de la humanidad e impuso a las Partes contratantes un conjunto de obligaciones entre las que se encuentra la elaboración del “Informe de País” que hoy presentamos ante la Conferencia de las Partes. En este sentido, y atendiendo los lineamientos establecidos sobre el contenido y presentación del informe, se ha preparado un documento que incluye un estudio sobre la magnitud de la diversidad biológica presente en el país, que lo hace uno de los diez primeros países megadiversos del planeta condición que nos obliga en el conocimiento, conservación y uso sustentable de tan valioso recurso para el futuro de la humanidad. Consideramos importante resaltar que en la recién promulgada Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela se establece como una obligación de Estado la conservación y defensa de la Diversidad Biológica y a demás se reconoce el valor de los conocimientos ancestrales que poseen las comunidades indígenas, sobre la biodiversidad presente en las tierras que ocupan por lo que tendrán derecho a obtener beneficios derivados de la utilización de sus conocimientos tradicionales.

  • Preliminary Determination
    NSW SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Preliminary Determination The Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (the Act), has made a Preliminary Determination to support a proposal to list the Western Sawshelled Turtle Myuchelys bellii (Gray, 1844) as an ENDANGERED SPECIES in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the Act, and as a consequence, to omit reference to Bell’s Turtle Myucheles belli (Gray, 1844) from Part 1 of Schedule 2 (Vulnerable species) of the Act. Listing of Endangered species is provided for by Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: 1. The Western Sawshelled Turtle Myuchelys bellii (Gray, 1844) (family Chelidae) is a medium- sized freshwater chelid turtle, reaching a maximum straight line carapace size of ~230 mm in males and ~300 mm in females (Cogger 2014; Chessman 2015). Cogger (2014) describes this species as “similar in most respect to [the Saw-Shelled Turtle Myuchelys latisternum] Wollumbinia latisternum. Like the latter it is brown above, whitish below, the two colours usually forming a sharply defined line on the side of the face and throat at the level of the angle of the jaws. Usually a distinct yellow stripe from the angle of the jaws, especially in the young. Shell above broadly oval, expanded posteriorly, with a serrated hind edge, except in larger specimens. Plaston moderate, nearly twice as long as broad, the front and rear lobes tapering from the bridge. Intergular shield as wide as or wider than each gular shield. Neck above with conspicuous sharp pointed tubercles. No alveolar ridge on the maxilla. Macrocephaly does not occur.

Oocysts are ovoid to almost spherical, 10.6 (8-12) × 8.9 (7-10) µm, without micropyle, polar granule and oocyst residuum. One conically stretched end and three blunt conical tubercles at the opposite end of oocyst give it mitra-like appearance. Sporocysts are elongated, ellipsoidal, 7.2 (6-8) × 4.1 (4-4.5) µm, with a small, knob-like Stieda body and sporocyst residuum composed of fine granules. To avoid possible conspecificity, the described new species is thoroughly compared with the most similar coccidium, E. mitraria, collected from its type host, Chinemys reevesii.
