This course of action was fully supported by the EEP and EAZA, and was carried out in a humane fashion – no ‘animal cruelty’ was involved.

Beginning with the reign of Muhammad Ali and continuing under khedive Ismail, a Haussmannian model of urbanization and gentrification prevailed. Until the 1960s and 1970s, these modernized urban spaces (found primarily in the new downtown area) can be defined as the location of a bourgeois public. In Wast el-Balad (downtown) Haussmannian architecture was a key site for the articulation of new “modern” spatial prac- tices, identities, and sociabilities. This new downtown was to provide a kind of display win- dow of Egyptian modernity. Since the 1970s the meanings, uses, and publics associated with modernist urban space have undergone a radical inversion.

This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 2. As required in Resolution Conf. 11.3 (Rev. CoP14) (Compliance and enforcement), the Standing Committee reviewed this subject at its 57th and 58th meetings (Geneva, July 2008 and July 2009) (see documents SC57 Doc. 20 and SC58 Doc. 23). Egypt 3. The Standing Committee, at its 57th and 58th meetings, considered reports from the Secretariat in relation to Egypt’s implementation of recommendations that had been made after a mission to the country in November 2007. The report of the mission had been presented to the Committee in document SC57 Doc. 20 Annex. At its 58th meeting, the Committee expressed concern regarding the time being taken to fully implement the recommendations and it requested Egypt to submit a report on this matter for consideration by the Conference of the Parties at the present meeting. 4. The Committee’s decision was communicated to Egypt by the Secretariat, which also suggested that a mission to Egypt to assess and verify implementation prior to CoP15 might be appropriate. Egypt has undertaken to submit such a report and has indicated its willingness to receive a mission by the Secretariat. Egypt’s report will be annexed to this document in due course and the Secretariat will report further orally at CoP15 on this issue.

Säteriet är omnämnt redan på 1300-talet, men hällristningar och fornlämningar visar att gården har anor från långt tillbaka i tiden. Den nuvarande bebyggelsen är i huvudsak från 1700- och 1800-talen. Stiftelsen Nordens Ark är en privat ideell stiftelse som är huvudman för Nordens Ark. Stiftelsen Nordens Ark är ägare till Åby säteri som omfattar 400 hektar. Stiftelsen Nordens Ark främjar den biologiska mångfalden främst genom att: •• under kontrollerad avelsverksamhet bidra till att rädda hotade arter och genom olika stödåtgärder i naturen stärka vilda faunapopulationer i deras naturliga miljöer, •• bedriva forskning och studier av djuren på anläggningen, bidra till en ökad djurkunskap samt befrämja deras överlevnadsmöjligheter i naturen, •• verka som en utbildningsresurs på alla nivåer från förskola till högskolor och universitet, Nordens Ark har under 25 år klokt •• vara tillgänglig för publik och genom detta öka allmänhetens och målmedvetet verkat för djurens intresse och kunskaper för naturvårdsarbete. bästa och nått beundransvärda ”resultat.

    The Cairo Connection Part Ii

    THE CAIRO CONNECTION PART II – APE TRAFFICKING – Enforcement missions by CITES Part of the solution or part of the problem? Karl Ammann & Pax Animalis August 2011 In 2001 the CITES Secretariat got for the first time involved in the ape trafficking issue in and out of Egypt when a deplorable case came to light. The Secretary-General took the unusual step to respond with two press releases (below). Today 10 years later we would like to evaluate what progress has been made in the context of Egypt and CITES compliance and enforcement. This is what this report is all about. Statement on the Cairo seizure of primates1 The Convention is an agreement between nations on how to regulate trade in certain wild animals and plants in ways that do not threaten the survival of these species. These ways involve common procedures and safeguards, and these are supported by advice and instruc- tions from the member countries (known as CITES Parties). CITES Parties can, and do, develop the many measures, provisions, instructions and advice that are needed to ensure that trade in wild species listed in CITES Appendices occurs in a manner that will not result in harm to live animals, in cases where trade is allowed. The provisions and procedures of CITES do protect thousands of live animals from cruel and inhumane treatment during transport every day. For instance, the Convention requires that any live specimens in trade be prepared and shipped so as to minimize the risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment. Detailed guidelines have been adopted for the humane transport of animal specimens, and the disposal of confiscated animals.

  • Djurrättsalliansen Har Inte Kunnat Granska Ölands Djurpark

    Djurrättsalliansen Har Inte Kunnat Granska Ölands Djurpark

    2020-04-23 09:12 CEST Djurrättsalliansen har inte kunnat granska Ölands djurpark Tidigare i veckan presenterade organisationen Djurrättsalliansen en granskning av tio av landets större djurpark som visar att 2 565 djur dött på de granskade djurparkerna under 2017-2019. Tanken var även att Ölands djurpark skulle ingå i granskningen, men då de inte har uppgett hur många djur som dött eller avlivats i de listor som årligen skickas in till länsstyrelsen har Djurrättsalliansen inte kunnat granska detta. Djurrättsalliansen har flera gånger tagit kontakt med Ölands djurpark och försökt få del av den informationen, utan att få svar. Ölands djurpark har tidigare fått kritik för stora brister i djurhållningen efter en granskning gjord av P4 Kalmar och Smålandsnytt år 2012. Då avlivades friska utrotningshotade tigrar. Många av de andra djuren hade för trånga utrymmen och fick inte tillräckligt med mat. Dessutom ska djuren ha avlivats på ett felaktigt sätt, ibland med en klubba eller kniv för att på så sätt spara in på veterinärkostnaderna. – Vi tycker det är anmärkningsvärt att Ölands djurpark inte redovisar hur många djur som dött på djurparken under de senaste åren, speciellt med tanke på deras förflutna. Vi frågar oss varför det inte finns någon transparens kring hur många djur som dödas så allmänheten kan göra medvetna val, säger Daniel Rolke, ordförande för Djurrättsalliansen. På andra djurparker som granskats så har det bekräftats att utrotningshotade djurarter eller friska djur som till exempel addaxantilopen, kattugglor, lejon, lokatter, vargar, björnar, järvar, rävar, gulbröstad kapuchin och makaker avlivats på de olika djurparkerna. En del av dem är så kallade överskottsdjur som det inte längre finns utrymme för.
