This legislation introduces strict licensing requirements to ensure primates are kept in zoo-level welfare conditions. The move aims to protect up to 5,000 primates currently held in domestic settings, recognizing that these intelligent animals have complex social and welfare needs that are impossible to meet in typical homes. Key points include: A mandatory licensing scheme for private owners with stringent welfare standards. Non-compliance will result in unlimited fines or confiscation of the primate. Local authorities will enforce the law with guidance from the government (Defra). This law builds on the UK’s Action Plan for Animal Welfare, which has already delivered measures such as recognizing animal sentience, strengthening penalties for cruelty, and banning various harmful practices like glue traps and low-welfare animal tourism ads. The UK leads the G7 in animal protection efforts according to World Animal Protection's Index.

(2024) highlight in their study the widespread international trade of Australian reptiles and amphibians, revealing concerning trends: Species in Trade: Over 160 Australian reptile species and 7 frog species are involved in the global pet trade. Popular species include central bearded dragons, ridgetail monitors, and barking geckos. Online Trade: Reptiles dominate online markets, with the central bearded dragon appearing on 142 websites. Social media plays a significant role in trading rare species. Smuggling and Seizures: Smuggling incidents often involve shinglebacks, central bearded dragons, and Gidgee skinks. Germany and China are common destinations for illegally traded species. CITES Protections: More than half of the traded species are listed under CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), protecting them against illegal trade. Many species were added to CITES protections as recently as 2022. Trade Hotspots: The U.S. and Germany are key players, with Germany being a major exporter and target for smugglers. Central bearded dragons are the most widely traded species globally. Concerns: Wildlife trade impacts native populations, threatens species with extinction, and fosters cruel smuggling practices. This research underscores the need for stricter regulations and enforcement to protect Australia's unique biodiversity.

Australia : NOTIFICATION TO THE PARTIES (19 /03 /2018 ) Australia implements stricter domestic measures that treat African lions (Panthera leo ), African elephants (Loxodonta africana ) and all whales and dolphins (Cetacea) as though they are listed on Appendix I to CITES. Under Australian legislation, imports and exports of Appendix I species can only occur if the specimen: was obtained prior to the first listing of the species on CITES – i.e. a ‘pre-Convention’ specimen (non-live specimens only); – is traded as part of a non-commercial exchange of scientific specimens between registered institutions (non-live specimens only) is traded for research purposes (live and non-live specimens) is traded for education purposes (live and non-live specimens) is traded for exhibition purposes (non-live specimens only) is traded as part of a Cooperative Conservation Program (for live specimens only). Australia does not permit personal imports or exports of species listed on Appendix I to CITES, including hunting trophies, unless they are demonstrated to be pre-Convention specimens and are accompanied by relevant pre-Convention certificates. Australia does not recognise personal and household effects exemptions for Appendix I specimens. Australia requires import permits for trade in species listed on Appendix II to CITES, except for items covered by personal and household effects exemptions. We would appreciate your assistance in alerting exporters sending goods to Australia, commercially and/or via post, that they are required to obtain an import permit from Australia.

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.

Credit: Richard Reading U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Headquarters Localization Saiga tatartica : middle Asie Saiga mongoliana : Mongolia Threats Traditional medicine Poaching Diseases Population Growing populations I.U.C.N. : N.T. - Near Threatened (updated 11/12/2023) C.I.T.E.S : Appendix II Bonn Convention : Appendix II Trade Global Asia : The horns of males are very popular in traditional Asian medicine. Chine (P.R.C.) : WORKSHOP ON THE CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF SAIGA ANTELOPE Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China (27-29/09/2010) Unexplained catastrophic population declines and subsequent recoveries were observed throughout the species' range in the early to mid-1900s. The current decline can be attributed to the combined effects of changes in vegetation to species less palatable to saiga antelope, competition with domestic livestock, increased abundance of predators, disruption of migration routes, poaching and illegal trade. Continued poaching for meat and the illegal trade in horns are seriously exacerbating conservation efforts, especially at this time when all populations of the species are declining. [...] Sustainable use and trade regulation: Formalize the lines of communication started at the workshop (e.g. through the CITES range and consumer State authorities) and use these lines of communication to: i) Explore possible bilateral collaboration between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and range states ii) Develop options for the establishment of a fund or other enabling mechanism through which the TCM industry could provide financial, technical and human resources to range States to address identified and mutually agreed priorities for in situ restoration of saiga trees. iii) Identify and establish incentive programs that benefit local communities within the saiga range and gain their support for conservation efforts. iv) To explore the feasibility and means of using horns from natural sources, mortality, and government or judicial confiscations. (v) Continue efforts in China to verify and control reported stockpiles of saiga parts. Share lessons learned with other consumer and range States. (vi) Continue research to: a) reduce the use of saiga in traditional Chinese medicine and b) identify alternatives to saiga horn. vii) To consider elements of a possible long-term trade relationship between the MCT, industry and range States, which could serve as a means to prevent poaching and illegal trade in saiga antelope. (viii) Strengthen law enforcement cooperation (e.g. information or intelligence, experience, equipment, capacity building, etc.) between range and consumer States. (ix) Review and revise, as appropriate, national policies to ensure consistency with conservation and sustainable use objectives. Kazakhstan : Workshop on the Implementation and Coordination of the Saiga Antelope (Saiga spp.) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and other CMS Instruments for Migratory Ungulates in Kazakhstan (17-18/02/2011) The meeting, chaired by Mr. Khairbek Mussabaev (Forestry and Hunting Committee), confirmed [...] a dramatic increase in poaching exclusively targeting saiga horns, which are only worn by saiga males and is therefore likely to lead to a serious decline in males. The following priority measures for the conservation of saiga antelopes in Kazakhstan have been identified within the framework of the MTIWP 2011-2015: [...] Strengthen the relevant capacities of agencies involved in the prevention of illegal trade and export of horns and horn products, such as customs. The participants further [...] recommended: (i) to include the above-mentioned priorities in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and other sectoral development programmes in Kazakhstan (ii) improve coordination between government agencies involved in the fight against the saiga tree. conservation and protection (e.g., customs, police, border patrol) and (iii) improve the process of interaction and negotiation with the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and enterprises, reiterating the recommendations of the Urumqi Saiga meeting in 2010. It has been reported that poaching in Betpak-dala has become more high-tech and that the population of Ustiurt continues to decline rapidly. Also, partnerships with Chinese agencies (CITES and the UNEP/CMS secretariat) were under negotiation at the time of writing. It was necessary to ensure that a bilateral project would not fuel the illegal trade in saiga horn. [...] For the population of Ustiurt, it is necessary to strengthen the fight against poaching, and for the population of Betpak-Dala, the need to strengthen the involvement of the local population in the conservation of the saiga tree. The increase in poaching of saiga horn was discussed with law enforcement agencies in the saiga area and with the Astana Prosecutor General's Office in 2010. The Ministry of Communication and Information has instructed its central and regional divisions to ban all advertising for the sale or trade of saiga horn in the media. Mr. Sergei Orlov, representative of the state-owned company Okhotzooprom, added that there were anecdotal reports of illegal structures in Kazakhstan that processed saiga horn and exported the crushed product. Until now, customs had not encountered such cases. The price of saiga horn is said to have increased, which has boosted the supply of saiga horn. It is also planned to improve the capacity and level of awareness of the services involved in the prevention of illegal trade and exports, including the customs services. Creation of resources and databases that can be consulted online, as part of the MOU.

Mission and methods ミッションと方法 English version / 英語版 : Team Zan is a dugong habitat research team in Okinawa coordinated by the association that watches over dugongs at the northern limit, and the official name is "Dugong Survey Team Zan" at the northern limit. "Zan" (or "Jean") is a typical name for dugongs in Okinawa, so we chose this as the name of the team. Investigation of Team Zan's bite marks It is difficult to investigate the behavior of the dugong itself because the number of dugongs in Okinawa is too small, but the bite marks left after the dugong uproots the seagrass remain for a while until the seagrass regenerates, so it is possible to grasp the habitat of the dugong to some extent by regularly examining the bite marks. The food trace survey is carried out by the "manta ray method". What is the Manta Ray Method? While traveling back and forth by boat within the set survey area, the surveyor pulled by the boat visually searches for the bite marks of the seagrass beds. When we find bite marks, we measure their size (length, width, depth) and record the type of seaweed and the degree of coverage. By doing this, we would like to know where dugongs are, what kind of seaweed they eat, and how much. How do you use the results of your research? In order to protect them, it is necessary to know the situation of the dugong, which is the object of protection, and to know the situation and changes in the seagrass, which is the only food of the dugong. By continuing this research, we will be able to create basic data for protection measures. Citizen Survey on Dugongs and Their Habitats in Okinawa Watching over dugongs at the northern limit The Okinawan dugong is a local population that inhabits the northernmost part of the world, but its number is estimated to be less than 50 and its survival is in danger. Although it is a national natural monument and is designated as an "endangered IA" species with the highest threat of extinction in the Red Data Book of Okinawa Prefecture, dugongs are not listed in the Red Data Book of the Ministry of the Environment, and the government has not yet taken concrete measures to protect them. Our mission is to save the Okinawan dugong from extinction as a local population and to restore its habitat and population. At the same time, we recognize that it is a major role of the association to convey the importance of protecting ecosystems, including wildlife. In particular, dugongs feed only on seagrass that grows in shallow waters several meters deep near the shore, so they are destined to be unable to leave the coast near the place of human activity. Therefore, it is important to understand that the ability of dugongs to maintain an environment in which they can live depends on human behavior. The specific goal of our activities is to conduct surveys in collaboration with local citizens and researchers, to identify appropriate protection measures with a solid scientific background, and to implement specific protection measures based on these surveys. In the future, I would like to have the national government set up protected areas and establish a system that steadily implements ecosystem management. There are three threats facing dugongs in Okinawa. The first is the relocation of the Futenma Air Base to Henoko, which is one of the important habitats for dugongs due to the spread of vast seagrass beds, the second is bycatch by fishing nets, and the thirdThe first is the deterioration of habitat environments, including seagrass beds. In order to eliminate these problems, take conservation measures, and manage habitats, it is necessary to conduct scientific investigations, analyses, and examinations that form the basis of these problems. On the other hand, regarding the issue of the relocation of the Futenma Air Base, there is a concern that the impact assessment of the base on dugongs and their habitats will not be justified. Environmental assessments in Japan are watered down and dysfunctional as a tool for preserving the environment for businesses. The reality in Japan today is that scientists have challenged the results of the assessments, presented fair assessments of the impact of the project, and warned about the impact of the project, despite the fact that it is being enforced. In view of this reality and the fact that there are almost no researchers specializing in dugongs in Japan, we have decided to conduct a survey to assess the impact of the base and to protect dugongs in cooperation with overseas researchers and the international community. The government has said that it will shorten the period of the environmental assessment, and there are concerns that it will not be properly evaluated. In order to prevent the construction of the base unnecessarily, we will appeal for the protection of dugongs and their habitats based on scientific evidence, with the cooperation of overseas dugong researchers under "external pressure." 【Outline of the Survey】 The urgent task is to clarify the current situation and changes in the ecology of dugongs and their important habitat, seagrass beds, for conservation. This is very important for assessing the impact of human activities, including the relocation of bases, and it is impossible to continue to carry out the necessary monitoring surveys without cooperation with local residents. In addition, we believe that communication with residents through such activities will lead to an understanding of the importance of local ecosystems and measures to combat bycatch, which is a major threat to dugongs. Therefore, in order to lay the foundation for community-based resident-led survey and conservation activities, the following surveys and activities will be conducted. (1) Literature survey on precedents of dugong conservation activities by residents Dugong populations outside of Japan and manatee populations, which are close relatives of dugongs, are also in danger of survival. In many of these habitats, citizens in collaboration with researchers are actively engaged in habitat surveys and conservation activities. We will investigate these precedents and utilize the knowledge gained from them in research and conservation activities in Okinawa. (2) Monitoring surveys of dugongs and their habitats led by local residents The number of dugongs in Okinawa is so small that it is difficult to investigate the behavior of the dugongs themselves. However, as they crawl along the seabed, they uproot the seagrass that grows in the sandy areas of the seabed, leaving their food marks like streaks. Since these traces remain for a while until the seagrass regenerates, regular and comprehensive investigation of these will reveal which sea areas dugongs use as their main feeding grounds, how much they use them, whether they change their feeding grounds seasonally, and how the conditions of seaweed beds and dugongs change from year to year. The results of this survey will be analyzed together with the results of the "wide-area survey of dugongs and seaweed beds" conducted by the Ministry of the Environment at a large cost in FY13~17, and will be used as basic data for considering what should be protected and how to protect and improve it with the guidance of researchers. Since the survey needs to cover a large area on a regular basis, it was decided to adopt the "manta ray" method. This method has also been adopted by the Ministry of the Environment and the Defense Facilities Agency for food site surveys, in which a snorkel surveyor is slowly towed by a boat to search for food remains in the seagrass beds below. Prior to the start of monitoring, in November 2006, an overseas researcher with a lot of experience in field surveys of dugongs and seaweed beds2Residents and members of the association were trained in the survey, and preliminary surveys and discussions were held to determine the details of the survey methodology. As a result, a number of issues have emerged. In the future, while tackling these issues, we will train new survey members and conduct full-scale surveys at a pace of four times a year. The results of this survey are expected to provide important data for the Okinawan dugong "rights of nature" lawsuit pending in the United States. (3) Awareness-raising activities among local residents to obtain cooperation in community-based and sustained surveys and to enable the acceptance of effective protection measures Such sustained research and conservation activities cannot be realized without gaining the understanding, trust, and cooperation of fishermen and residents engaged in coastal fisheries. We will discuss and create many opportunities for activities to discuss and work together on how to protect the local life while protecting the local natural ecosystem, including dugongs. (4) Preparation of a guidebook summarizing the survey and dugong conservation roadmap In order to encourage more people to participate in surveys and conservation activities, expand the circle of this initiative, and achieve results, we will draw a roadmap of a food trace survey manual and a vision for protecting and restoring the dugong population in Okinawa, and compile and distribute and use it as a guidebook. Japanese version / 日本語版 : チーム・ザンは北限のジュゴンを見守る会がコーディネートする 沖縄のジュゴンの生息環境調査チームで 正式名称は、『北限のジュゴン調査チーム・ザン』と言います。 『ザン』（または『ジャン』）は 沖縄でのジュゴンの代表的な呼び方であることから これを、チームの名前にしました。 チーム・ザンの食み跡調査 沖縄のジュゴンは数が少なすぎるために、ジュゴンそのものの行動を調査することは難しいのですが、ジュゴンが海草を根こそぎ食べた後に残される食み跡は、海草が再生してくるまでの間しばらく残るので、食み跡を定期的に調べることでジュゴンの生息状況をある程度把握することができます。 食跡調査は『マンタ法』によって行います。 マンタ法って？ 設定した調査範囲内を船で往復しながら、船に引かれる調査員が海草藻場の食み跡を目視で探します。食み跡を見つけたら、そのサイズ（長さ、幅、深さ）を計測し、海草の種類や被度などを記録します。これによって、ジュゴンがどんな場所で、どんな海草を、どのくらい食べているのかを知りたいと考えています。 調査結果をどう役立てるの？ 保護するためには、保護する対象であるジュゴンの状況を知ること、 そしてジュゴンの唯一の食糧である海草の状況や変化を知る必要があります。 この調査を継続していくことで、保護対策のための基礎データができていくのです。 沖縄のジュゴンとその生息環境に関する市民調査 北限のジュゴンを見守る会 沖縄のジュゴンは、世界の最北限に生息する地域個体群であるが、その数は50頭未満と推定され存続の危機にある。国の天然記念物であり、沖縄県のレッドデータブックでは絶滅の恐れが最も高い「絶滅危惧ＩＡ類」に指定されていながら、ジュゴンは環境省のレッドデータブックには記載されておらず、国はいまだ具体的な保護対策には動いていない。 当会のミッションは、沖縄のジュゴンを地域個体群としての絶滅の危機から救い、その生息環境と個体数を回復させることである。それと同時に、野生生物を含む生態系を守ることの重要性を人々に伝えることも当会の大きな役割と認識している。とくに、ジュゴンは岸に近い深さ数mの浅い海域に生えている海草を唯一の食糧としているため、人間活動の場に近い沿岸から離れられない宿命を背負っている。したがってジュゴンが生きていける環境を保持できるかどうかは、人間の行動にかかっていることを知ってもらわねばならない。 当会の活動の具体的な目標は、地元市民および研究者と連携した調査の実施により、しっかりとした科学的バックグラウンドを持って、適切な保護方策を見極め、それに基づいた具体的な保護方策を実践していくことである。将来的には国に保護区を設定させ、生態系のマネジメントを着実に実施するような体制にもっていきたい。 【ジュゴン保護に向けて】 　沖縄のジュゴンが直面している脅威は３つある。ひとつは、広大な海草藻場がひろがりジュゴンの重要な生息地の１つとなっている辺野古への普天間基地移設、2つ目は漁網による混獲、3つ目は海草藻場をはじめとした生息環境の悪化である。これらの問題を取り除いて保護策を講じ、生息地の管理を行っていくためには、いずれにしてもその基礎となる科学的な調査と解析、検討が必要とされる。一方、普天間基地移設問題については、ジュゴンおよびその生息地に関する基地の影響評価が正当になされない危惧がある。わが国の環境アセスメントは骨抜きであり、事業に対して環境を保全するツールとしては機能不全に陥っている。諫早干拓問題、石垣新空港問題などにおいても、科学者たちがアセスメントの結果に異議を唱え、事業の影響について正当な評価を提示し、警告しているにもかかわらず、強行されるのが今の日本の現実である。当会は、このような現実および日本にはジュゴンを専門とする研究者がほとんどいないことを鑑み、海外研究者および国際的なコミュニティとの連携の上で基地の影響評価およびジュゴンの保護方策に向けての調査を実施することとした。政府は環境アセスメントの調査期間を短縮して行うとしており、まっとうな評価がなされないことが懸念される。なしくずしに基地建設にいたることのないよう、海外のジュゴン研究者の「外圧」の協力を得ながら、科学的根拠に基づいてジュゴンと生息地の保護を訴えていく。 【調査の概要】 　喫緊の課題は、保護に向けてジュゴンの生態およびその重要な生息環境である海草藻場の現状と変動を明らかにすることである。これは、基地の移設も含めた人間活動の影響を評価する上で非常に重要であり、そのために必要なモニタリング調査を継続して実施していくことは地元住民との連携なくしては不可能である。また、このような活動を通しての住民とのコミュニケーションは、地域の生態系の重要性についての理解、ひいてはジュゴンにとっての大きな脅威である混獲の対策への理解につながるものと考える。 そこで、地域に根ざした住民主体の調査活動、保護活動の基礎を築くために、以下の調査および活動を行う。 （１）住民によるジュゴン保護活動の先行事例についての文献調査 日本以外の各地のジュゴン個体群、ジュゴンの近縁であるマナティ個体群もまた、その存続が危ぶまれているところが多い。それらの生息地では研究者と連携した市民による生息地の調査活動や保護活動が熱心に行われているところが多数ある。これらの先行事例を調査し、そこから得られる知見を沖縄における調査・保護活動に活かす。 （２）地域住民を主体とした、ジュゴンとその生息環境のモニタリング調査 　沖縄のジュゴンは数が少なすぎるために、ジュゴンそのものの行動を調査することは困難である。しかし、彼らは海底を這うように前進しながら海底の砂地に生えている海草を根こそぎ食べるために、その食跡が筋のように残される。この跡は海草が再生してくるまでの間しばらく残ることから、これらを定期的、網羅的に調べれば、ジュゴンがどの海域を主たる餌場とし、どの程度利用しているか、季節的に餌場を変えているのか、年々の藻場の状況とジュゴンの利用状況はどう変化しているか、などを明らかにしていくことができる。この調査結果と環境省が平成13～17年度に多額の費用をかけて実施した「ジュゴンと藻場の広域的調査」の結果を合わせて解析し、研究者の指導を得ながら何をどう保護し、改善していくべきかを検討するための基礎データとする予定である。 調査は広域を定期的にカバーする必要があるため、｢マンタ法｣を採用することにした。この手法は環境省や防衛施設庁も食跡調査に採用しているもので、シュノーケルをつけた調査員がボートでゆっくりと曳航されながら眼下にある海草藻場の食跡を探すというものである。モニタリング開始に先立って、2006年11月に、ジュゴンと藻場の野外調査の多くの経験を持つ海外の研究者2名を招へいし、住民と当会メンバーが調査のトレーニングを受け、調査手法の詳細を決めるための予備調査とディスカッションを行った。この結果、いくつもの課題が浮き上がってきた。今後これらの課題と取り組みつつ、新たな調査メンバーを育てながら、本格的な調査を年に4回のペースで実施していく。なお、この調査結果は、米国において提訴中の沖縄のジュゴン「自然の権利」訴訟においても重要なデータとなることが期待されている。 （３）地域に根ざした持続的な調査への協力を得、有効な保護方策の受容を可能 にするための地域住民の啓発活動 このような持続的調査・保護活動は、沿岸で漁業を営む漁民や住民の理解と信頼を得、協力を得ていくことなしに実現はできない。ジュゴンを含む地域の自然生態系を守りながら地域の生活を守っていくにはどうすればよいのか、ともに話し合い、活動する機会を多く設けていく。 （４）調査およびジュゴン保護ロードマップをまとめたガイドブックの作成 　より多くの人に調査や保護活動に参加してもらい、この取組みの輪を広げ、成果をあげていくために、食跡調査マニュアルと沖縄のジュゴン個体群を保護・回復させていくためのビジョンをロードマップに描き、ガイドブックとしてとりまとめて配布、活用する。 sea-dugong.org/trailsurvey.htm
