ABOUT US OURANOS detailed The OURANOS network aims to involve as many people as possible in participatory work between citizens, institutions and scientists ! Our story All started with a bee... In August 2021, the "Mahout", founder and current president of the project, was watching a video about animals on his mobile phone when he learned that representatives of the species "Wallace's giant bee" (Megachile pluto ), vulnerable and almost impossible to find in the wild, were for sale on eBay. From then on, the idea of a digital network project against online poaching emerged. Initially alone, the Mahout surrounded himself, from October 2022 to June 2023, with a crack team, as part of a mobilization organized by the Green Office of the University of Liège (Belgium). Chronology 08/2021 Idea for a project to denounce fraudulent offers on online sales platforms. Offers about endangered species are reported on the platforms directly but are not removed. Some letters to politicians are sent without any results. 05/07/2022 - 05/09/2022 13/11/2022 - 15/12/2022 The projet OURANOS supports the animals in Ukraine and facing isolated events. Idea of a network creation to convoy animals and help zoos in Ukraine. Beginning of an officious partnership with Résilience Internationale. Campaign to save animals from the Mykolaev Zoo with the support of La Tanière zoo and Résilience Internationale. According to the zoo, their animals didn't need any help, so, the operation ended. 11/01/2023 Official adoption of the name "OURANOS" for "OUR Alliance for kNOwledge and Species" by the original team. 18/01/2023 12/02/2023 - 23/04/2023 10/02/2023 The OURANOS Project is officially presented to the Green Office at the University of Liège. The OURANOS Project, via its founder, takes part in the support of a coalition led by Résilience Internationale, with the support of Vet4Cats/Vet4Ukraine to support the Woof Division Charitable Fondation in Kharkiv. Pool for pets and veterinary cares in Karkhiv. 14/02/2023 17/02/2023 - 06/03/2023 Creation of the Twitter account of the project (Ouranos project (@OuranosProject) / Twitter ). Part in the sterilisation campaign for cats in Ukraine, led by Vet4Ukraine, with the support of Résilience Internationale. 17/03/2023 23/04/2023 - 02/11/2023 Creation of the Youtube channel (OURANOS Anti-Poaching Project - YouTube ). Campaign to support the Sudan Animal Rescue, in Khartoum, supported by Résilience Internationale. The goal was transferring some animals to the Giza zoo, that supported the project to welcome small cats. The association Four Paws took the reins to transfer the animals to Al'Mawa center in Jordan. 07/10/2023 Triggering the concretization and clarification of OURANOS objectives. 28/06/2024 - 04/07/2024 06/07/2024 16/08/2024 Campaign on bats selling and CITES status. Breaking up of a Facebook account that sold rhinoceros horns. eBay removes all listings of Kerivoula picta and of most bats. Etsy updates the day before its policy on prohibited wildlife to include all bats. 20/08/2024 - ... "Indi Raja" operation. Campaign to stop the elephants use and abuse during the Kandy Esala Perahera in Kandy (Sri Lanka). 06/10/2024 - 24/10/2024 "Faa Sai" operation. Campaign to help the elephants and other animals (dogs and buffalos) from floods at the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai 20/12/2024 - 06/01/2025 Boycott for sturgeons : campaign against the waste of eggs that could increase the effectives of sturgeons, almost all endangered, to protect them and inform people about their threats and means to save them. Our goal is to invite all Internet users to report poaching and fraudulent offers of endangered species on online sales sites and platforms to certified experts. The goal is not to harm these platforms, but to stop poaching and encourage decision-makers to take concrete measures to stem the scourge of online poaching and species trafficking, particularly on the black market. We also plan to eventually partner with scientific and (inter)national institutions, associations and decision-makers on these platforms to ensure general and concrete consistency in the fight against poaching and its causes. Our Goal How should OURANOS be used ? Search a website or online sales platform for any suspicious advert relating to the animal species being sold. Once the suspicious ad has been found, consult the identification sheets on this site (tab "Identification sheets" and "smart research"), in order to determine whether the species concerned is threatened or not. This step can be carried out automatically on certain sites concerned as soon as possible. Click on the “report” or "signal" tab on the site in question when it is present, before contacting the OURANOS Project. The OURANOS Project will highlight the offer on social networks and carry out events and rallyings focused on similar offers to get rid of them legally and/or on the websites itself When the suspicious offers are sent to the OURANOS Project, the partners on the field are contacted to save the living animals on the offers and carry them to a shelter, or at least to seize the dead ones The team Founder and President - active The Mahout @OuranosProject Original team - inactive E.

This legislation requires permits for the import and export of CITES-listed species, including binturongs. Environment and Climate Change Canada administers WAPPRIITA, ensuring compliance with CITES and regulating trade to prevent over-exploitation of species. China (PRC) : Wildlife Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (2022 Version): This law prohibits the hunting, killing, and illegal trade of wildlife under national key protection. (Wildlife Protection Law of the PRC (2022 Version) ) China Red List: The binturong is listed as "Critically Endangered" on the China Red List, highlighting the severe threat to its population in the country. (Binturong (Arctictis binturong)-Thai National Parks) France : Any animal not included in the list of domestic animals set by ministerial decree is a wild animal. The binturong is not on this list. For animals coming from a country other than France, the marking must be carried out within eight days of arrival at the place of detention. However, this provision does not apply to animals whose stay in France does not exceed three months, provided that they are marked in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora known as CITES. For zoological parks, certificate(s) of capacity and opening authorization(s) are required for captivity. Article L413-10 Version in force since 02 December 2021 Created by LAW No. 2021-1539 of 30 November 2021 - art. 46 - Code de l'environnement Ban on Acquiring and Breeding Non-Domestic Animals: It is prohibited to buy, sell, or breed non-domestic species for use in traveling shows. This ban takes effect two years after the law’s enactment (November 30, 2023). Prohibition on Keeping and Transporting Non-Domestic Animals: Traveling shows cannot keep, transport, or use non-domestic animals for performances starting seven years after the law’s enactment (November 30, 2028). Animal Welfare Provisions: Owners of affected animals will be provided with alternative accommodations ensuring the animals’ well-being. Exceptions: The Minister for Nature Protection can grant exceptions if suitable accommodations for the animals are unavailable. Certificates and Permits: New permits for keeping or showcasing non-domestic animals in traveling shows will no longer be issued, and existing permits will be revoked when animals leave. Animal Registration: Traveling establishments must register their animals in a national database within six months of the law’s promulgation. This law seeks to protect wildlife and promote humane treatment by phasing out the use of non-domestic animals in traveling shows. India : Wildlife Protection Act, 1972: In India, the binturong is listed under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, which provides the highest level of protection. This includes a ban on hunting and trade, and offenses are punishable with imprisonment and fines. (the_wild_life_(protection)_act,_1972.pdf ) The Management Authority of India informed the Secretariat that the Government of India has banned the export for commercial purposes of all wild specimens of species listed in CITES Appendices I, II and III, with the exception of certain plant foods. Indonesia : Act No. 5 of 1990 on Conservation of Living Resources and Their Ecosystems: This act protects wildlife species, including the binturong, and prohibits their trade without proper authorization. Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999: This regulation concerns the preservation of flora and fauna and includes provisions for the protection of species like the binturong. Commercial trade is permissible for second generation captive-bred individuals by facilities that have been approved by the government. According to the law and Gomez L. & Shepherd C. (2024), illegal possession of a protected species incurs a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of IDR100mil (~ USD6,350). Based on seizure data analysis, most penalties meted out were low i.e., below 1 year imprisonment and fines of less than IDR5mil (~ USD318). (Lalita Gomez & Chris R. Shepherd, "The illegal trade of binturongs in Indonesia (arctictis binturong)", Discover Animals , Volume 1, article number 27 ) Moreover, it is mainly from Indonesia that the sale of "kopi luwak" ("civet coffee"), generated by the excrement of civets, but also of binturongs on the island of Sumatra, is recorded. Internet : In Gomez and Shepherd's study, there were at least 594 advertisements for binturongs observed during the survey period (1 July 2023 to 1 October 2023). The majority of these were found on Facebook (97.6%), and to a much lesser extent, on TikTok (2.2%) and one on Instagram. Japan : Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (FEFTA) and the Customs Act: Japan enforces CITES through the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act (FEFTA) and the Customs Act . These laws regulate the import and export of CITES-listed species, including binturongs, ensuring that such trade does not threaten their survival. (traffic.org/site/assets/files/12923/crossing_the_red_line_en-forweb.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com ) Binturongs are found in specific cafés, where people can feed and touch them. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) oversees Japan's compliance with CITES, including the regulation of live wild animals and wildlife products. (About CITES / METI Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry ) Korea (North) : CITES Status: North Korea is not a signatory to CITES, which complicates enforcement of international wildlife trade regulations within its borders. (Wildlife Under Siege: State-Linked Trafficking Uncovered in North Korea - Climate Fact Checks ) Despite the lack of formal CITES obligations, there are reports of illegal wildlife trade activities, including the trade of endangered species like binturongs, often involving cross-border transactions. (Opinion: North Korea’s hidden wildlife trade: new research reveals state involvement | UCL News - UCL – University College London ) Korea (South) : CITES Membership: South Korea became a CITES Party in 1993. While there is no specific mention of binturongs, the country adheres to CITES regulations, which would apply to all Appendix III species, including binturongs. (Domestic measures | CITES ) South Korea has implemented national regulations to control the import and export of CITES-listed species, ensuring that trade does not threaten their survival. Laos : Suspension of trade in specimens of CITES-listed species with the Lao People's Democratic Republic, in line with the recommendations of the Standing Committee. Recommendation maintained until further notice. Malaysia : Protection of Wildlife Act 1972: This act provides for the protection of wildlife in Malaysia, including the binturong.

It prohibits the hunting and trade of protected species without appropriate permits. This act establishes procedures for the trade and transfer of species and their parts, ensuring protection from unsustainable exploitation. (Maldives Enacts Int. Trade Controls on Endangered Species Act [13/2022] ) Myanmar (Burma) : Protection of Wildlife and Protected Areas Law (1994): This law provides for the protection of wildlife and wild plants in Myanmar, including the binturong. It prohibits the hunting and trade of protected species without proper authorization. This law mandates the protection of wild flora and fauna, their habitats, and representative ecosystems. ( Microsoft Word - 17-Session-3.Biodiversity-and-Illegal-Wildlife-Trade-H.E.-Mya-Thein-National-Laws-Country-Paper.doc ) List of Protected Species (1996): This list affords various degrees of protection to wild plants and animals according to their designation: completely protected species may not be hunted except for scientific purposes under special license protected species may be hunted but only with special permission seasonally protected species are subjected to traditional subsistence hunting by rural communities only during the open (i.e., non-breeding) season. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES): Myanmar ratified CITES in 1997, committing to safeguard its wildlife through national legislation and international conventions.

It prohibits the hunting, capturing, and trading of protected species without appropriate licenses. (Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act, B ) United States of America : In the United States, the regulation of the trade in binturongs (Arctictis binturong), which are listed in CITES Appendix III by India, is governed by both federal and state laws. These laws aim to ensure that international trade does not threaten the species' survival in the wild. U.S. Federal Regulations : Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Wild Bird Conservation Act (WBCA) : The U.S. enforces the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) through the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Wild Bird Conservation Act (WBCA). These laws regulate the import, export, and interstate commerce of CITES-listed species, including binturongs. Specifically, for Appendix-III species like the binturong, an export permit from the country of origin is required, and a certificate of origin is needed for specimens imported from countries that have not listed the species in Appendix III. ( Understanding CITES Appendix III ; fws-cites.pdf) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS): The USFWS is the primary agency responsible for implementing and enforcing CITES regulations in the U.S. They issue the necessary permits and certificates for the legal trade of CITES-listed species and ensure compliance with both domestic and international laws. (CITES Appendices | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) State Regulations: In addition to federal laws, individual states have their own regulations concerning the possession, sale, and transport of exotic animals, including binturongs. These laws can vary significantly from state to state. Some states have comprehensive regulations, while others have minimal or no specific laws regarding exotic pet ownership. 1. States with Specific Regulations California: Prohibits the import, transport, and possession of non-native species, including binturongs, without a permit. Florida: Requires a permit for the importation and possession of exotic animals. Texas: Allows the possession of exotic animals with a permit; however, local ordinances may impose additional restrictions. 2. States with Minimal or No Specific Regulations North Carolina: One of only four states with no state-wide laws on private ownership of exotic animals; regulation is left to individual counties. (Only Four States Have No Rules For Owning An Exotic Animal. North Carolina Is One. | WUNC ) Nevada: Generally allows the possession of exotic animals without specific state-wide restrictions. Alabama: Has limited regulations on exotic animal ownership, with some counties imposing their own rules. It's important to note that even in states with minimal regulations, local municipalities may have their own ordinances governing the possession and trade of exotic animals. In most states in the United States as well as Canada and many Western countries, it is illegal to keep binturongs as pets. States like California have the strictest laws and ban these animals altogether. However, there are also states in which the possession of exotic animals is not regulated at all and others may apply for a permit. As binturongs are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, their trade and import are prohibited. So, while it's probably legal to own in some states, legal issues can arise in addition to ethical concerns among other domestic issues, with a binturong as a pet. Vietnam : In Vietnam, there are some recent reports of this species being kept as pets or as show animals in hotels, and the species is also traded for wild meat and traditional medicine markets, for which a wide range of animal species are hunted.

Sugar glider Petaurus breviceps Localization Australia, Papua Threats No major threat Agriculture Bushfire Hypocalcaemia (in captivity) Population Stable U.I.C.N. : L.C. - Least Concern C.I.T.E.S: No indexed Trade Australia : To ensure that gilders are not illegally removed from the wild and sold as pets, all breeders, distributors and owners would require permits outlining the glider's history and source location. Strict penalties for illegal activities should be enforced. In addition, wild populations would require constant monitoring to ensure the protection of the glider species. In Australia, sugar gliders can be kept in Victoria, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. However, they are not allowed to be kept as pets in Western Australia, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Queensland or Tasmania. DNA analysis indicates that "the USA (sugar) glider population originates from West Papua, Indonesia with no illegal harvesting from other native areas such as Papua New Guinea or Australia".Given that the West Papuan gliders have been tentatively classified as Krefft's gliders (albeit to be changed in the future), this indicates that at least the captive gliders kept in the United States are Krefft's gliders, not sugar gliders. United States : Campbell et al . (2019), have provided evidence to support anecdotal reports from commercial websites offering the sale of sugar gliders that the source of the USA population of sugar gliders is West Papua, Indonesia. In our sampling, we found no evidence of illegal trade from other parts for the sugar glider native range but we cannot discount the possibility that animals are taken from other parts of Indonesia or Papua New Guinea and traded from Sorong. The scope of our inference is limited due to sparse sampling of West Papua, surrounding islands and the voluntary nature of tissue donation from USA pet owners. More extensive sampling of wild sugar gliders, animals bred in captive breeding facilities in West Papua and privately owned sugar gliders in the USA along with detailed pedigree information from breeders in the USA would be required to fully understand the importation history (Hogg et al., 2018 ). We established that despite being founded very recently (less than 30 years ago), the USA population is significantly more diverse than other introduced but older populations in Australia (Campbell et al., 2018 ). This implies multiple recent introductions and/or gene flow between Indonesia and the USA (Dawnay et al., 2008 ; Ogden & Linacre, 2015 ), and suggests that there is sufficient diversity within the USA population to avoid negative consequences of inbreeding if pedigrees are carefully managed. Ongoing importation of sugar gliders from legal avenues would allow US breeders to actively manage genetic diversity in the captive USA population, while allowing Indonesian wildlife traders the opportunity to benefit from their natural resources. For the specific purpose of preventing inbreeding in the USA an appropriately managed wild harvest of sugar gliders from West Papua, Indonesia, could continue with sufficient regulation of wildlife trade and if sustainable wildlife harvest quotas are enforced (Nijman, 2010 ; Janssen & Chng, 2018 ). Initiatives to achieve this could include, stricter licensing and registration for exporters, minimum mandatory reporting standards for captive breeding facilities and monitoring of selected wildlife trade hubs (Nijman, 2010 ).

CoP19) on Demand reduction strategies to combat illegal trade in CITES-listed species and the outcomes in section 3 of the Big Cat Task Force outcomes document (see document SC77 Doc. 41.2) establish an appropriate advisory committee or mechanism with involvement of the CITES Secretariat and other relevant organizations and partners to provide advice on the transformation of commercial tiger farms inspect the tiger captive-breeding facility that the Secretariat could not visit and report to the Secretariat. United States : H.R. 263, the “Big Cat Public Safety Act,” which amends the Lacy Act (20/12/2022) The act revises the Lacey Act to impose stricter regulations on the trade, possession, breeding, and exhibition of big cats (lion, tiger, leopard, cheetah, jaguar, cougar, or hybrids). Key Provisions: Prohibited Activities: Importing, exporting, buying, selling, transporting, acquiring, possessing, or breeding big cats are prohibited unless exempt. Breeding Defined: Includes intentional or negligent propagation or failing to prevent reproduction. Exemptions: Entities like universities and wildlife sanctuaries may be exempt. Facilities with Class C licenses under the Animal Welfare Act can exhibit big cats if direct contact with the public is prohibited (with exceptions for professionals or conservation-related activities). Grandfather Clause: Owners may keep big cats born before the law's enactment but must register them with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Penalties: Violators face fines up to $20,000, imprisonment for up to five years, or both. Each violation is treated as a separate offense. Forfeiture: Big cats bred or possessed in violation of the law are subject to forfeiture. Implementation: The Department of the Interior will issue regulations to enforce the act. This legislation aims to enhance the conservation of big cats, prioritize public safety, and reduce illegal trade.
