Reopening the ivory trade and resuming commercial whaling in Norway and Japan are two of several controversial issues swirling around the upcoming Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. More than 2,000 representatives of governments, conservation groups and trade organizations are expected to attend this year's CITES meeting April 10-20 in Nairobi, Kenya. At issue are listing decisions that will determine the protection of more than 60 of the world's threatened and endangered species. Conservation and animal welfare groups have anticipated the event since the last CITES conference in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 1997. "It takes a great deal of effort to either add or subtract a species from listing," explained Karen Steuer of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

Extractions: At Feld Entertainment, the care and protection of exotic and endangered animals has always been an important element of our corporate vision. The Asian elephant, in particular, is one of our most popular animal performers and perhaps the species most commonly associated with The Greatest Show On Earth. THE CO NSERVATION AND EDUCATION VALUE OF PUBLIC DISPLAY Our role as an educator is one which we take very seriously. The affection and awe that elephants generate among our audiences helps focus attention on the current challenge facing the future survival of the species. In fact, studies have shown that the public display of animals contributes to heightened public awareness of the animals themselves and of man's responsibility for their well-being and protection. This is especially true for children, who not only become more aware of the animals and their special needs and abilities, but also experience first hand the importance of caring for and respecting all animals.

Extractions: By Cris Chinaka HARARE, June 8 (Reuter) - A proposal to resume trade in ivory from the African elephant is expected to be the dominant issue at a world conference on endangered species that starts in Zimbabwe on Monday. The 10-day Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meeting has been preceeded by a spirited debate. CITES officials say the delegates and the public will also be watching decisions on whales. "For us, all the issues on our agenda are important but for many people the conference has become a conference on elephants alone," CITES Secretary-General Izgrev Topkov said last Wednesday when he arrived in the Zimbabwean capital to prepare for the meeting. "We have 115 agenda items. We have 89 tags for species and 75 proposals. The media should not only report on elephants," he complained. The debate on elephants has been sparked by a proposal from three elephant-rich southern African states Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe for CITES to lift a seven-year-old world ban in ivory trade and to allow "limited but strictly supervised trade." They and their supporters, notably Japan, argue that ivory trade has never threatened the three countries' elephant herds, saying they were rising even before the 1989 ban, and now at around 150,000, are over twice the land's carrying capacity.

Extractions: CONTENTS AFRICANEWS HOMEPAGE By Rodrick Mukumbira Since January this year 11 people from a minority ethnic group have been trampled to death by elephants and as drought persists, the number is likely to increase as the elephants turn to homesteads for food. In the sweltering Zambezi Valley, in the remote part of Binga, 460 kilometres north west of Zimbabwes capital, Harare, 70-year-old Tivuke Siamonga recalls how elephants recently trampled down his only son to death. Words fail Siamonga, a member of the minority Tonga tribe resident in the Valley, as he recalls the fateful day. Even as a community renowned traditional healer he knows that elephants are just another mysterious disease afflicting his people and he does not have a remedy. "I dont have a solution to this rampaging menace of elephants," says Siamonga whose face quickly contorts with pain at the mere mention of the word elephant. "We were not threatened by elephants before but now they are everywhere. It is not only that we risk being trampled but we are threatened with starvation as the elephants destroy our crops." Although man is known to dominate to creatures and the environment, in the Zambezi valley he has met his match. The elephant has become the most dominant threat not only to man but to the environment as well. The police say since January this year 11 people have been trampled to death in Siamongas area. And as drought prevails in this southern African country, the number is likely to increase as the elephants turn to homesteads for food.

Extractions: The red wolf (Canis rufus) suffered huge population and habitat losses throughout the 20th century, and was placed on the Endangered Species List in 1967. The species continued to decline after that, resulting in a 1973 decision to remove them from the wild and place them in captivity for breeding purposes. By 1980, there were no red wolves in the wild. In 1987, red wolves were reintroduced to the wild at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern North Carolina. This reintroduction marked the first attempt to reintroduce a carnivore declared extinct in the wild to a portion of its former range. Today, a free-ranging population of red wolves inhabits about one million acres of federal, private and state lands in northeastern North Carolina.

Extractions: Previous Story ... Related Stories Next Story Source: University Of California - San Diego Date: Using DNA extracted from the dung of wild elephants in Africa, biologists at the University of California, San Diego have determined that three different types of elephants exist on the African continent. Their discovery, detailed in a paper to be published in the October 7 issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Series B, affirms the existence of the well-known savanna elephant and the recently recognized forest elephant of central Africa. But it also suggests that the elephants of west Africa, which live in both the forest and savanna, represent a third, genetically distinct population that has been diverging from the other two groups for some two million years. Biologists and conservationists now widely accept the designation of two species of elephants: Asian and African. The UCSD discovery could, if confirmed by additional genetic evidence, split the African group into three distinct species or subspecies.

Extractions: Although there has been an international ban on ivory since 1989, elephants are still threatened by man - and illegal poaching is not the main problem. Loss of habitat is a major obstacle in maintaining both African and Asian elephant populations. In Africa, they are in grave danger and in Asia - where those left are mostly domesticated - their survival is also at risk. As a result, instances of elephants raiding fields and destroying crops are increasing and clashes between elephants and people have led to nearly 300 human deaths a year. There is pressure on wildlife authorities to kill elephants living near human areas to lower risks. In the early 1970s, the illegal ivory trade was at the highest levels recorded since the beginning of the 20th century. Over 80 per cent of the ivory leaving Africa had been acquired illegally. Poaching is still a large problem in West and Central Africa and continues because, despite the ban, ivory is still traded in some countries and exports are growing in areas of Asia.
