Okinawa dugong : Research and results 沖縄のジュゴン：研究と結果 23/12/2024 : English version / 英語版 : The dugong (Dugong dugon ) is a gentle marine mammal. The Okinawan dugong, which lives in the northernmost part of the island, is on the brink of extinction and only a small number of them remain. They used to live in large numbers in the waters around the Ryukyu Islands, but due to human factors, their numbers have dropped sharply. In order to protect dugongs and their habitat, the dugong research team Zan (which means dugong in Okinawan) has been investigating the bite marks on seaweed, which is their only food, and collecting important data for conservation. The dugong is a gentle marine mammal. The Okinawan dugong, which lives in the northernmost part of the island, is on the brink of extinction and only a small number of them remain. They used to live in large numbers in the waters around the Ryukyu Islands, but due to human factors, their numbers have dropped sharply. In order to protect dugongs and their habitat, the dugong research team Zan (which means dugong in Okinawan) has been investigating the bite marks on seaweed, which is their only food, and collecting important data for conservation. Of the three dugongs (individuals A, B, and C) that lived in the waters around Okinawa Island, two have disappeared, and we had to suspend our monitoring of the dugongs. However, we have found traces of the remaining young individual C migrating in search of new feeding grounds in the waters around Okinawa Island. We are working with the fishermen who continue to monitor the population (which we believe to be several) that still lives in Miyako Island, and are continuing to make every effort possible to ensure the survival of the local population in Okinawa. Japanese version / 日本語版 : 温和な海洋哺乳類ジュゴン ( Dugong dugon ) 。その最も北に生息する沖縄のジュゴンは、絶滅の危機に瀕しており、わずかな数しか生き残っていません。かつては琉球諸島周辺海域にたくさん生息していましたが、人為的な要因により、その数は急激に減少しています。ジュゴンとその生息地を保護するために、ジュゴン調査チーム ・ザン (沖縄の言葉でジュゴン)は彼らの唯一の餌である海草の噛み跡を調査し、保護のための重要なデータを収集して来ました。 沖縄島周辺海域に生息していた3頭(A個体、B個体、C個体)のジュゴンのうち、2頭が姿を消して、私たちのモニタリングしていたジュゴンの調査は中断せねばならなくなりました。 しかし、沖縄島周辺海域には残った若いC個体が新たな餌場を探し回遊している痕跡が確認されています。 私たちは今も宮古島に生息している個体群(数頭と考えている)のモニタリングを続ける海人と連携をとり、沖縄の地域個体群の存続に向けて、出来る限りの努力を続けています。 04/04/2024 : Fecal DNA analysis coupled with the sighting records re-expanded a known distribution of dugongs in Ryukyu Islands after half a century 糞便DNA分析と目撃記録を組み合わせることで、半世紀ぶりに琉球諸島におけるジュゴンの既知の分布範囲が再拡大した Hiroyuki Ozawa, Takahiro Yoshihama, Shogo Gishitomi, Natsuki Watanabe, Kotaro Ichikawa, Keiichi Sato, Kenta Watanabe, Katsuhiko Takano, Yosuke Ochiai, Hiroki Yamanaka, Atsushi Maruyama English version / 英語版 : DNA analysis of large herbivore feces samples collected from seagrass beds at two distant sites (Irabu Island in Miyako Islands and Kushi in Okinawa Island) in the Ryukyu Islands proved that some of these feces were from dugongs, which had been treated in recent studies as extinct in this region since the last stranding of a deceased individual in 2019. In addition, local knowledge of sightings of animals thought to be dugongs and confirmed cases of dugong feeding trails since 2010 were compiled to estimate its recent distribution. This is the first scientific report on the presence of this mammal in the Ryukyu Islands within the last four years, and particularly in the Miyako Islands within the last half-century. As the Ryukyu Islands are known to be the northern limit of the dugong’s fragmented distribution in East Asia, conservation efforts are therefore needed. Japanese version / 日本語版 : 琉球諸島の2か所の遠隔地（宮古諸島の伊良部島と沖縄島久志）の海草藻場から採取された大型草食動物の糞サンプルのDNA分析により、これらの糞の一部はジュゴンのものであることが判明した。ジュゴンは、2019年に最後に死んだ個体が座礁して以来、最近の研究ではこの地域では絶滅したとされていた。さらに、ジュゴンと思われる動物の目撃情報や、2010年以降のジュゴンの餌付け跡の確認事例に関する現地の知識をまとめ、最近の分布を推定した。これは、過去4年間の琉球諸島、特に過去半世紀での宮古諸島におけるこの哺乳類の存在に関する初の科学的報告である。琉球諸島は東アジアにおけるジュゴンの断片的な分布の北限であることが知られているため、保護活動が必要である。 Read the article / 記事を読む 12/04/2022 : Trajectory to local extinction of an isolated dugong population near Okinawa Island, Japan 日本の沖縄島付近の孤立したジュゴンの個体群の局所的絶滅への軌跡 Hajime Kayanne , Takeshi Hara , Nobuaki Arai , Hiroya Yamano , Hiroyuki Matsuda English version / 英語版 : A small animal population becomes extinct owing to demographic and environmental stochasticity after declining below the minimum viable population (MVP). However, the actual process of extinction derived by stochastic factors after crossing MVP has not been recorded for long-lived marine mammals. Here, we reconstructed the declining history of a small, isolated population of dugongs in Okinawa over 125 years. The initial population size of approximately 280–420 in the nineteenth century declined to approximately < 100 in 1917 because of overfishing, < 70 in 1979, 11 in 1997, 3 after 2006, and all known individuals disappeared or died by 2019. After 1979, a decline in the natural growth rate has led to extinction. Long-lived animals may persist for a few decades after the population falls below the MVP, at which time active conservation measures, such as captive breeding, should be implemented. Japanese version / 日本語版 : 小型動物の個体群は、最小生存個体群（MVP）を下回ると、人口動態および環境の確率論により絶滅する。しかし、長寿の海洋哺乳類の場合、MVPを超えた後に確率論的要因によって生じる実際の絶滅のプロセスは記録されていない。本研究では、沖縄に生息する孤立した小さな個体群の125年間にわたる減少の歴史を再現した。19世紀には約280～420頭であった当初の個体群は、乱獲により1917年には約100頭未満、1979年には70頭未満、1997年には11頭、2006年以降は3頭に減少し、2019年までに既知の個体はすべて姿を消すか死亡した。1979年以降は、自然成長率の低下が絶滅につながった。長寿命の動物は、個体数が MVP を下回った後も数十年間は生き残る可能性があり、その場合には飼育下繁殖などの積極的な保全対策を実施する必要があります。 Read the article / 記事を読む

(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.

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. United States : Some animals, such as bats, insects, and snails, are known to carry zoonotic diseases. Importation of such animals for any purpose requires permits from CDC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Because bats can be infected with and transmit rabies, permits are not issued for the importation of bats as pets. Etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of human disease, including microorganisms, insects, biological materials, tissues, certain live animals (e.g., live snails), and animal products may require a CDC permit for importation or transfer into the United States. CDC permits for approved scientific, exhibition, or educational purposes are issued through the CDC Import Permit Program. Internet trade The species Kerivoula picta , like other microbats, is sold on online platforms for decorative purposes as well as as souvenirs for tourists. According to Coleman et al. (2024), sales of Kerivoula picta and other bats are decreasing between December 2022 and January 2023, but are predominant in Western countries, reaching more than 500 offers listed on eBay for the United States. According to a study led by Hunter et al . (2024), over a period of 18-months, the sale of 4479 different bat products have been identified , derived from 47 different species. On Etsy, it is estimated that over 10,000 items were sold over the study period, including skulls, skeletons, taxidermy, framed displays and jewellery. The sellers of these items were predominantly located in Europe, North America and Hong Kong, whilst analysis of the ranges of the species advertised in listings indicated that South and South East Asia are likely to be hotspots of sourcing for this trade. Moreover, bat ornaments are largely sold as collectible oddities.
