Decisions at CITES CoP15 involved such
high
profile species as the African elephant, sharks, and polar
bear.
Increased trade controls were approved
for spiny-tailed iguanas, Kaiser's spotted newt, and Agalychnis tree
frogs, Argentine lignum vitae, Brazilian rosewood, and several plant
species from Madagascar. In response to concerns regarding poaching and
illegal trade, the Parties rejected proposals to downlist African
elephant populations of Tanzania and Zambia.
Proposals to regulate international
trade in hammerhead sharks, oceanic whitetip shark, porbeagle, spiny
dogfish, and red and pink corals were rejected. Proposals to list polar
bear, ornate dabb lizard, and bluefin tuna in Appendix I also were
rejected.
While a proposal to downlist the
bobcat was rejected, proposals to downlist populations of Morelet's and
Nile crocodiles were accepted as were proposals to delist cliff spurge,
marsh rose, and swartland sugarbush.
