Elephant Ivory Trade
Decisions at CITES COP14 involved such
high profile species as the
African elephant, two species of sharks, whales and a number of tree
species.
Increased trade controls were approved for slow loris species,
Cuvier’sgazelle, slender-horned gazelle, Guatemalan beaded
lizard, sawfishes,
the European eel, and brazilwood, Proposals to regulate international
trade in porbeagle, spiny dogfish, red and pink corals, Spanish cedar,
Honduran rosewood, and black rosewood were rejected.
The Parties accepted, by consensus, a plan to allow sale of
current ivory stockpiles from Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and
Zimbabwe,
while instituting a moratorium on consideration of further ivory trade
proposals from these countries for a period not less than nine years
following the sale.
