1 1 Using the Appendices Copyright CITES Secretariat 2005 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora

2 Overview 2 In this session we will: Look at how the Appendices are structured Examine how to read the Appendices

3 3 How to find a species in the Appendices Appendices I, II and III are divided into two sections Ø Ø Fauna Flora

4 4 How to find a species in the Appendices If you know more or less what you are looking at (e.g. cat-like, hornbill) the index to the Appendices can guide you If you have the Checklist of CITES Species, look in the first part (for animals) or in the second part (for plants) Simple, isn t it?

5 5 How to find a species in the Appendices What if you do not have the Checklist of CITES Species?

6 The Appendices 6 The Appendices contain more than 32,000 species of plants and animals To make this listing more practical, a number of shortcuts are used that allow for listing of groups of species, as appropriate In addition, listings can be annotated to designate types of products, quotas, and other considerations The Appendices require careful interpretation

7 Taxonomy 7 Taxonomy is a hierarchical classification system of uniquely identifiable organisms, reflecting the evolutionary relationship between these organisms Nomenclature is a naming system by which names are assigned to organisms; these scientific names are written in Latin (although ancient Greek words are used as well) The CoP determines which standard nomenclature is to be used (currently the Checklist of CITES species)

8 Taxonomy 8 For the arrangement in the Appendices Animals: Plants: Hierarchical Alphabetical by Family (Genus, species)

9 Taxonomy 9 To find a plant species, e.g. Picrorhiza kurrooa, you have to know to which family it belongs Scrophulariaceae

10 Taxonomy The plant or animal kingdom can be subdivided into sections of ever decreasing status 10 Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species (spp.) Sub-species (ssp.)

11 Taxonomy Fauna 11 Chordata (phylum) Annelida (phylum) Arthropoda (phylum) Mollusca (phylum) Cnidaria (phylum)

12 Taxonomy Chordata (Phylum) 12 Mammalia (class) Aves (class) Reptilia (class) Pisces (class) Elasmobranchii (class) Amphibia (class)

13 Testudinata (order) Taxonomy Reptilia (class) 13 Rynchocephalia (order) Crocodylia (order) Sauria (order) Serpentes (order)

14 Taxonomy Crocodylia (order) 14 Crocodylidae (family) Alligatoridae (family) Gavialidae (family)

15 Taxonomy Alligatoridae (family) 15 Paleosuchus (genus) Alligator (genus) Melanosuchus (genus) Caiman (genus)

16 Taxonomy Caiman (genus) 16 C. latirostris (species) C. crocodilus (species)

17 Taxonomy 17 Caiman crocodilus (species) C.c. fuscus (subspecies) C.c. apaporiensis (subspecies) C.c. crocodilus (subspecies) C.c. yacare (subspecies or species)

18 Annotations 18 Once the species is found, one may notice symbol & number references following the name These references are annotations and are partly clarified in the Interpretation to the Appendices # 5 Spp. 9 var. Ssp.

19 Annotations 19 The annotations, all approved by the Conference of the Parties with a twothirds majority are included in the Appendices in three different ways If the text is not too long and applies to one taxon only, it is immediately included after the name of the species If the text is long, or applies to a limited number of species of the same taxa, the annotation text is included as a footnote If the text applies to a larger number of species (parts and derivatives for plants) it is referenced with the symbol # followed by a number, and the text of these annotations is included in the Interpretation to the Appendices I, II and III, on the first pages of the Appendices Varanus spp. (Except the species included in Appendix I) Taxus chinensis and infraspecific taxa of this species 10 #10 Taxus cuspidata and infraspecific taxa of this species 10 #10 Taxus fuana and infraspecific taxa of this species 10 #10 Taxus sumatrana and infraspecific taxa of this species 10 #10 Taxus wallichiana #10

20 Annotation types -- Summary 20 spp. -- all species of a higher taxon are included p.e. -- species is possibly extinct # x -- designation of parts and derivatives of plants excluded from or included in the appendices

What is Classification?

What is Classification? Classification Diversity of Life Biologists have identified over 1.5 million different species of living organisms so far... Estimates = between 2-100 million species yet to be discovered What is Classification?
