"Last month at #CITESCoP19, world leaders voted to provide protections for 60 #shark species, including blue sharks. This decision means these species can only be traded if their stocks are proven to be sustainably managed. With the exception of a 2019 catch limit set under the jurisdiction of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (#ICCAT) #RFMO, #bluesharks are fished without any limits."

🇵🇪 "Instability prevents there from being a solid implementation policy for what we want to do on #wildlifetrafficking

Although #Peru has increased efforts to combat #wildlife #trafficking, challenges remain in protecting #species.

A fantastic outcome from #CITESCoP19 on proposals regarding the addition of species new to #CITES appendices I & II, with all but 1 proposal succeeding. Legal #wildlifetrade in newly listed species must be recorded and globally regulated, with measures that, when enforced, ensure trade is both legal and sustainable.
The challenge now is the successful implementation of effective and inclusive management strategies. I've listed below the new species groups that were adopted at the conference.

From #CITESCoP19. Decisions confirmed included protection for nearly 100 #shark & #ray species, 100+ #tree species, #frogs, #songbirds, #reptiles, #turtle. Largest no. of decisions ever.
