(2003) Pt.11 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF Animals and Plants File Ref: ETWB 9/55/25/01 (2003) Pt.11 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance (Cap. 187) ANIMALS AND PLANTS (PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES) (EXEMPTION) (AMENDMENT) ORDER 2004 ANIMALS AND PLANTS (PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES) ORDINANCE (AMENDMENT OF SCHEDULES) NOTICE 2004 INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 13 January 2004, the Council ADVISED and the Chief Executive ORDERED that the Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) (Exemption) (Amendment) A Order 2004 (the Amendment Order), at Annex A, should be made under section 18 of the Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance (the Ordinance) to exempt the possession or control of certain scheduled species from the licensing requirement under section 6 of the Ordinance. 2. At the same time, the Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works has made the Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance (Amendment of Schedules) Notice 2004 (the Notice), B at Annex B, under section 19(1A) of the Ordinance to amend Schedules 1 and 3 and the Sixth Schedule to the Ordinance mainly to bring more species under the control of the Ordinance. JUSTIFICATIONS 3. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which has been extended to Hong Kong since 1976, aims to regulate international trade in endangered species to protect wildlife from over exploitation/extinction. It requires that the import and export of the species listed in its appendices including their readily recognizable parts and derivatives be subject to licensing controls. The Parties to CITES meet every two years to, among other things, review and amend, the controlled species listed in its appendices if necessary. 4. The Ordinance gives effect to CITES in Hong Kong. The endangered species including their parts and derivatives which are listed in the Appendices to CITES are specified in the Schedules to the Ordinance. The Ordinance provides that, except those with exemptions, a licence issued by the Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation is required for the import, export or possession of all scheduled species. Some control measures, especially in respect of import of scheduled species other than the highly endangered species and possession of all scheduled species, are in excess of CITES requirements. They were drawn up for the purpose of combating smuggling. Under Section 18 of the Ordinance, the Chief Executive may, by order published in the Gazette, exempt any scheduled species from the licensing requirements. The Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) (Exemption) Order (Cap.187 sub. leg. A) (“the Exemption Order”) has been made for this purpose. Over the years, a number of exemptions have been made in respect of the “excessive” local controls to cope with public demand and actual operational needs. Changes to the Schedules to the Ordinance and the Exemption Order are regularly made following the revisions of the list of controlled species of CITES. The last similar exercise was conducted in 2001. 5. In November 2002, the parties to CITES reviewed and amended the species listed in the Appendices to CITES. To implement these changes, we need to revise the Schedules to the Ordinance through a Notice made by the Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works under section 19(1A) of the Ordinance. 6. We propose to amend the Exemption Order concurrently to exempt from the licensing requirement the possession or control under section 6 of the Ordinance of the species listed below, which are considered less endangered - (a) Rhincodon typus (Whale Shark); (b) Cetorhinus maximus (Basking Shark); (c) Hippocampus species (Seahorses) (excluding live animals); and (d) Swietenia macrophylla (Bigleaf Mahogany). 2 The proposed exemptions will facilitate legitimate trade in those species without compromising Hong Kong’s obligations under CITES. THE NOTICE 7. The Notice amends Schedules 1 and 3 and the Sixth Schedule to the Ordinance to reflect the amendments made to the Appendices to CITES at the 12th Conference of the Parties meeting held in November C 2002. The provisions to be amended are at Annex C. THE AMENDMENT ORDER 8. The Amendment Order extends the list of species, the possession or control of which is exempted from the licensing requirements in the Ordinance by including therein the species set out in paragraph 6 above. D The provisions to be amended are at Annex D. LEGISLATIVE TIMETABLE 9. The legislative timetable will be - Publication in the Gazette 21 January 2004 Tabling at the Legislative Council 4 February 2004 IMPLICATIONS OF THE PROPOSALS 10. The economic implications of the proposals are set out at Annex E E. The proposals are in conformity with the Basic Law, including the provisions concerning human rights. They have no financial, civil service, productivity or environmental implications, and have no significant sustainability implications. 11. The Notice and the Amendment Order do not affect the current binding effect of the Ordinance or its subsidiary legislation. PUBLIC CONSULTATION 12. We have consulted the Endangered Species Advisory Committee and the Endangered Species Protection Liaison Group. Representatives of the trades concerned, viz. traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) traders 3 and practitioners, bird traders, turtle traders, timber traders, plant traders and dried food and marine product (including shark fin) traders have also been consulted. They in general have no objection to the changes to be made to the list of controlled species on the understanding that they are required under CITES and that trade in the species will still be allowed with valid licences. They welcome the proposed exemptions as this will facilitate trade in the species concerned. PUBLICITY 13. The Notice and the Amendment Order will be published in the Gazette on 21 January 2004. A press release will be issued on 19 January 2004 and a spokesman will be available to handle enquires. ENQUIRY 14. Any enquiry of this brief should be directed to Ms Jessie WONG, Principal Assistant Secretary (Environment and Transport) on telephone 2136 3288 or fax 2136 3321. Environment, Transport and Works Bureau 19 January 2004 4 Annex A ANIMALS AND PLANTS (PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES) (EXEMPTION) (AMENDMENT) ORDER 2004 (Made under section 18 of the Animals and Plants (Protection of Endangered Species) Ordinance (Cap. 187) after consultation with the Executive Council) 1.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

    SOUTH AFRICA: MAGOEBASKLOOF AND KRUGER NATIONAL PARK CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 24 February – 2 March 2019 By Jason Boyce This Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl showed nicely one late afternoon, puffing up his throat and neck when calling www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park February 2019 Overview It’s common knowledge that South Africa has very much to offer as a birding destination, and the memory of this trip echoes those sentiments. With an itinerary set in one of South Africa’s premier birding provinces, the Limpopo Province, we were getting ready for a birding extravaganza. The forests of Magoebaskloof would be our first stop, spending a day and a half in the area and targeting forest special after forest special as well as tricky range-restricted species such as Short-clawed Lark and Gurney’s Sugarbird. Afterwards we would descend the eastern escarpment and head into Kruger National Park, where we would make our way to the northern sections. These included Punda Maria, Pafuri, and the Makuleke Concession – a mouthwatering birding itinerary that was sure to deliver. A pair of Woodland Kingfishers in the fever tree forest along the Limpopo River Detailed Report Day 1, 24th February 2019 – Transfer to Magoebaskloof We set out from Johannesburg after breakfast on a clear Sunday morning. The drive to Polokwane took us just over three hours. A number of birds along the way started our trip list; these included Hadada Ibis, Yellow-billed Kite, Southern Black Flycatcher, Village Weaver, and a few brilliant European Bee-eaters.

We explored all of these and more during our 25-day adventure across the country. Highlights were many and included Orange River Francolin, thousands of Cape Gannets, multiple Secretarybirds, stunning Knysna Turaco, Ground Woodpecker, Botha’s Lark, Bush Blackcap, Cape Parrot, Aardvark, Aardwolf, Caracal, Oribi and Giant Bullfrog, along with spectacular scenery, great food and excellent accommodation throughout. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Despite havoc-wreaking weather that delayed flights on the other side of the world, everyone managed to arrive (just!) in South Africa for the start of our keenly-awaited tour. We began our 25-day cross-country exploration with a drive along Zaagkuildrift Road. This unassuming stretch of dirt road is well-known in local birding circles and can offer up a wide range of species thanks to its variety of habitats – which include open grassland, acacia woodland, wetlands and a seasonal floodplain.

Smith, Director BIRDS IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES IN 1970 By Roger B. Clapp and Richard C. Banks Bird and Mammal Laboratories Division of Wildlife Research Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife Special Scientific Report —Wildlife No. 164 Washington, D.C. February 1973 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402-Price $1.25 domestic postpaid, or $1 GPO Bookstore Stock Number 2410-00345 ABSTRACT Birds imported into the United States in 1970 are tabulated by species and the numbers are compared to those for 1968 and 1969. The accuracy of this report is believed to be substantially greater than for the previous years. The number of birds imported in 1970 increased by about 45 percent over 1969, but much of that increase results from more extensive declarations of domestic canaries. Importation of birds other than canaries increased by about 11 percent, with more than half of that increase accounted for by psittacine birds. More than 937,000 individuals of 745 species were imported in 1970. This report tallies imported birds by the country of origin. Eleven nations account for over 95 percent of all birds imported.

  • Remote Tanzania
    The wonderful Usambara Eagle Owl... our inevitable bird of the trip! (Pete Morris) REMOTE TANZANIA 27 SEPTEMBER / 1 – 16 / 24 OCTOBER 2016 LEADER: PETE MORRIS Our 2017 tour to ‘Remote Tanzania’ turned out to be a fantastic adventure that way-surpassed most of our expectations. And with the addition of a pre-tour Northern Tanzania endemics extension, and a post-tour Ud- zungwa Mountains extension, the tour really was converted to an ‘Ultimate Tanzania’. For most of the tour we were accompanied by our ever reliable, super friendly and effcient local driver and excellent local guide, and were blessed with largely good weather, most importantly when we were camping up in the mountains. With such a good set up and conditions, there were few excuses, so we effciently set about our task of hoovering up the endemics, whilst enjoying the other wonders that this great country has to offer. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Remote Tanzania 2016 www.birdquest-tours.com The stunning Swynnerton’s Robin... a highlight of the Udzungwa Extension (Pete Morris) The pre-tour extension involved a whistle stop trek from Arusha to the Lariboro Plains and then down to Ndutu on the edge of the great Serengeti Plains and back via the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. Our task was to fnd the endemics: Grey-breasted Spurfowl, Yellow-collared and Fischer’s Lovebirds, Beesley’s Lark, Rufous-tailed Weaver and Ashy Starling all performed well alongside an excellent cast of other hoped-for birds and mam- mals. The main tour saw us travelling through arid plains and on to the South Pare Mountains, the East and West Usambaras, the attractive Pemba Island, the remote Uluguru and Ukaguru Mountains, the impressive Mikumi National Park and its surrounding miombo woodlands and the little explored Kilombero Plains.
