The Pew Charitable Trusts today applauded the move by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to extend to four species of sharks and nine species of mobula rays the protections they need to recover from depleted populations.
Yoxannesburgda bo'lib o'tgan 182-Tomonlar Konferentsiyasida (CoP17) 17 ta CITESga a'zo hukumatlarning uchdan ikki qismidan ko'prog'i so'ng, ipak akulalar, uch turdagi xirmon akulalari va to'qqiz turdagi mobula nurlari savdosi barqarorligi isbotlanishi kerak. Janubiy Afrika, turni II ilovaga qo'shishga rozi bo'ldi.
Ushbu qo'shimcha ro'yxatlar yovvoyi tabiatni muhofaza qilish bo'yicha dunyodagi birinchi konventsiyaga muvofiq tartibga solinadigan fin savdosi tahdid soladigan akulalar foizini ikki baravar oshiradi. Ushbu harakat, bu turlarga, birinchi navbatda, qanotlar va gill plitalarining global savdosi natijasida kelib chiqqan populyatsiyaning 70 foizdan ko'proq qisqarishidan tiklanish imkoniyatini beradi.
"Ushbu ovoz berish - bu yirik akula va nurli turlarining omon qolishini ta'minlash yo'lidagi ulkan qadam bo'lib, ular qanotlari va g'altaklarining qiymati tufayli yo'q bo'lib ketish xavfi ostida qolmoqda", dedi akulalarni saqlash bo'yicha global kampaniya direktori Lyuk Uorvik. The Pew Charitable Trusts da. "Ushbu turlarni himoya qilish bo'yicha rekord darajadagi hukumatlarning chaqiruviga javob berildi."
"Ro'yxatlar amalga oshirilgach, biz global muvaffaqiyat va muvofiqlashtirishning davom etishini intiqlik bilan kutamiz", deya qo'shimcha qildi Uorvik, "va CITESni akulalar va nurlarning dunyodagi yetakchi himoyachisi sifatida olqishlaymiz."
The proposals to add these shark and ray species to Appendix II drew historic levels of support this year. More than 50 countries signed on as cosponsors for one or more of the proposed listings. In the lead-up to CoP17, regional workshops were held around the world, including in the Dominican Republic, Samoa, Senegal, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, which helped build massive backing for the new listings.
Implementation of the landmark 2013 shark and ray Appendix II listings, which for the first time allowed for regulation of five commercially traded shark species, has been heralded as widely successful. Governments around the world have hosted training workshops for customs and environment officials since the 2013 listings went into effect on best practices to create sustainable export limits and customs checks to prevent illegal trade.
“Governments have the blueprint to duplicate and even surpass the implementation successes of the 2013 shark and ray listings,” said Warwick. “We expect an enormous global response to engage and effectively enforce these latest protections, and look forward to the continued growth of a worldwide push towards shark and ray conservation.”
