Approves annual export of 3000 Greys from Cameroon
ワシントン条約に、ヨウムの保存を訴えるが失敗
常任委員会は、カメルーンから年間3,000羽のヨウムの輸出を承認
Despite the best efforts of the World Parrot Trust and the over 41,000 signatories who supported the petition against the trade in Grey parrots in Cameroon and Congo, CITES' ruling of July 26th failed to protect the birds from unsustainable trade, ignoring sound science and global public opinion. They have also disregarded the terms of their own Convention, which was put in place to ensure that the international trade in animals and plants does not threaten the survival of species in the wild.
