It aims to ensure that international subspecies, varieties and even selected subpopulations on a global trade in specimens of wild animals and plants (or their parts and scale to highlight those which are threatened with extinction. derivatives ie. anything made from even parts of them) does not threaten their survival. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information for animals and plants CITES works by subjecting the international trade in specimens of that have been evaluated. The assigned Catagories and Criteria are selected species to certain controls.

Animals and plants Species listed CR (Critically Endangered), EN (Endangered) and VU listed under CITES appear within one of three Appendices meaning that (Vulnerable) have a higher risk of global extinction than those listed as their trade is tightly regulated through a standardised permit system: NT (Near Threatened) or LC (Least Concern). Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction. Trade in these More information is available at www.redlist.org is allowed only in exceptional circumstances. Appendix II includes species in which uncontrolled trade could threaten their survival. These species are not necessarily threatened at the current time. Appendix III contains species which are protected in at least one country that has requested other member States for help in controlling the trade. There is no formal link between CITES and the IUCN Red List.

  • Indigenous Uses of Ethnomedicinal Plants Among Forest-Dependent Communities of Northern Bengal, India Antony Joseph Raj4* , Saroj Biswakarma1, Nazir A
    Raj et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:8 DOI 10.1186/s13002-018-0208-9 RESEARCH Open Access Indigenous uses of ethnomedicinal plants among forest-dependent communities of Northern Bengal, India Antony Joseph Raj4* , Saroj Biswakarma1, Nazir A. Pala1, Gopal Shukla1, Vineeta1, Munesh Kumar2, Sumit Chakravarty1 and Rainer W. Bussmann3 Abstract Background: Traditional knowledge on ethnomedicinal plant is slowly eroding. The exploration, identification and documentation on utilization of ethnobotanic resources are essential for restoration and preservation of ethnomedicinal knowledge about the plants and conservation of these species for greater interest of human society. Methods: The study was conducted at fringe areas of Chilapatta Reserve Forest in the foothills of the eastern sub-Himalayan mountain belts of West Bengal, India, from December 2014 to May 2016. Purposive sampling method was used for selection of area. From this area which is inhabited by aboriginal community of Indo-Mongoloid origin, 400 respondents including traditional medicinal practitioners were selected randomly for personal interview schedule through open-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire covered aspects like plant species used as ethnomedicines, plant parts used, procedure for dosage and therapy. Results: A total number of 140 ethnomedicinal species was documented, in which the tree species (55) dominated the lists followed by herbs (39) and shrubs (30). Among these total planted species used for ethnomedicinal purposes, 52 species were planted, 62 species growing wild or collected from the forest for use and 26 species were both wild and planted. The present study documented 61 more planted species as compared to 17 planted species documented in an ethnomedicinal study a decade ago.

  • (Equatorial Spitting Cobra) Venom a P
    The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases ISSN 1678-9199 | 2011 | volume 17 | issue 4 | pages 451-459 Biochemical and toxinological characterization of Naja sumatrana ER P (Equatorial spitting cobra) venom A P Yap MKK (1), Tan NH (1), Fung SY (1) RIGINAL O (1) Department of Molecular Medicine, Center for Natural Products and Drug Research (CENAR), Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Abstract: The lethal and enzymatic activities of venom from Naja sumatrana (Equatorial spitting cobra) were determined and compared to venoms from three other Southeast Asian cobras (Naja sputatrix, Naja siamensis and Naja kaouthia). All four venoms exhibited the common characteristic enzymatic activities of Asiatic cobra venoms: low protease, phosphodiesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase and L-amino acid oxidase activities, moderately high acetylcholinesterase and hyaluronidase activities and high phospholipase A2. Fractionation of N. sumatrana venom by Resource® S cation exchange chromatography (GE Healthcare, USA) yielded nine major protein peaks, with all except the acidic protein peak being lethal to mice. Most of the protein peaks exhibit enzymatic activities, and L-amino acid oxidase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase, acetylcholinesterase, 5’-nucleotidase and hyaluronidase exist in multiple forms. Comparison of the Resource® S chromatograms of the four cobra venoms clearly indicates that the protein composition of N. sumatrana venom is distinct from venoms of the other two spitting cobras, N. sputatrix (Javan spitting cobra) and N. siamensis (Indochinese spitting cobra). The results support the revised systematics of the Asiatic cobra based on multivariate analysis of morphological characters. The three spitting cobra venoms exhibit two common features: the presence of basic, potentially pharmacologically active phospholipases A2 and a high content of polypeptide cardiotoxin, suggesting that the pathophysiological actions of the three spitting cobra venoms may be similar.

Raya Jakarta-Bogor Km 46, Cibinong 16911, Indonesia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: 11 May 2016; Accepted: 30 November 2016 ABSTRACT The study on the specimens of Masked Flying Fox, Pteropus personatus from Gag and Moluccas Islands, Indonesia was conducted by using morphological and genetic analyses. Morphologically, the specimens from Gag are different from the other populations in Moluccas Islands by the smaller size of skull, dental and other external measurements. Based on the measurements of the specimens, the population from Gag Island is identified as P. personatus acityae n. subsp. The phylogenetic reconstruction based on partial cytochrome b sequences also support the differences between P. personatus acityae n. subsp and Pteropus personatus personatus. Thus, recently two subspecies of P. personatus are recognised from its distribution areas. Key words: flying fox, Gag Island, new subspecies, Pteropus personatus INTRODUCTION The direct and indirect of long term histories of geology epoch affected the species number and endemicity of mammals. For instance, South West Pacific and Moluccas Islands which have more than 230 indigenous species of mammals are higher compared to 196 species in Sumatra, 183 species in Java, 126 species in Sulawesi and 180 species in New Guinea (Flannery 1995, Helgen 2005). Among them, bats are the best represented mammals which have approximately 64 % of the total fauna.
