The Animals and Plants Committees
shall: |
| |
a) |
review the CITES trade data maintained by the
UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre to determine the species for which
source code R has been used for trade, and the countries where this has
occurred; |
| |
b) |
survey countries applying source code R
to species other than crocodilians transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II
subject to ranching, and obtain information on the management programme
for the species to which this source code is applied; |
| |
c) |
review the literature on wildlife management
for current information on management systems that would resemble ranching
(i.e. primarily focused on the harvest of specimens representing early life
stages for rearing in captivity) and identify common elements in these programmes; |
| |
d) |
based on this review, propose a definition of
ranching and the use of source code R for CITES purposes; and |
| |
e) |
report at the 15th meeting of the Conference
of the Parties on the implementation of this decision. |
