Use of and trade in wildlife is a fact of life for human society around the globe. Article IV of the CITES Convention requires that exporting countries restrict trade in Appendix II species to levels that are not detrimental either to species? survival, or to their role within the ecosystems in which they occur (known as the ?non-detriment finding?). Based on two workshops convened by IUCN to develop some pragmatic assistance for Scientific Authorities, this publication presents the background to the development of the non-detriment finding checklist and explains how the checklist itself is designed to work, in the hope that Scientific Authority staff will take and develop the parts of the approach that they find useful.

Overexploitation of the world's wildlife has left many species in peril. Despite decades of work by conservationists, species continue to be driven towards extinction by illegal wildlife trade. Efforts to combat illegal trade have focused primarily on large charismatic species, but many other species face similar threats and uncertain futures. Reptiles are one of the most traded wildlife taxa. Of particular concern is the scale of the tortoise and freshwater turtle (TFT) trade. TFTs are slow to reproduce, rendering them vulnerable to even low levels of exploitation. In Canada, the commercial import of live TFTs is restricted, yet smuggling and illegal trade, particularly for the pet market, is a concern. Using a Conservation Criminology approach, this dissertation looks at compliance and non-compliance in the Canadian TFT pet trade by examining the characteristics of the domestic supply chain, perceptions of formal and informal sanction threats, perceptions of conservation and animal welfare, and the role of neutralizations. Data was collected from federal-level wildlife enforcement records and in-depth semi-structured interviews with TFT breeders, wholesalers, and retailers in Canada. Results point to the complex nature of the TFT supply chain, which has multiple paths through which illegally sourced animals can enter the legitimate trade. Heterogeneity in perceptions of the certainty and severity of formal sanctions threats raised questions about how perceptions change based on one's position in the supply chain. Informal sanctions for many were salient, but so too was a willingness to turn a blind eye to illegal trade. Almost all participants were concerned about conservation and animal welfare, yet some used neutralization techniques when describing their acquisition of animals that were likely illegally sourced. These results highlight the importance of considering multiple theories for understanding compliance and non-compliance and lay the foundation for future research on illegal wildlife trade that will inform both theory and practice.

The underlying theme of this book is that a widespread, taxonomically diverse group of animals, important both from ecological and human resource perspectives, remains poorly understood and in delcine, while receiving scant attention from the ecological and conservation community. This volume proposes a comprehensive overview of the world's river turtles' ecology, conservation, and management. It begins with a categorization of taxa which inhabit flowing water habitats followed by information on their evolutionary and physical diversity and biogeography. Within the framework of ecology, the authors discuss the composition of river turtle communities in different types of lotic habitats and regions, population dynamics, movements, reproductive characteristics and behavior, predators, and feeding relationships. In a conservation and management section, the authors identify and evaluate the nature and intensity of factors which threaten river turtle survival--almost all of which involve direct human exploitation or indirect effects of human induced habitat alteration and degradation. They then list and evaluate the various schemes which have been proposed or employed to halt declines and restore populations, and make recommendations for future management plans for specific species and regions. In closing, they state their viewpoint concerning future research directions and priorities, and an evaluation of future prospects for survival of the world's river turtle species.

Bushmeat has always provided a source of nutrition and traditional medicine for local people throughout Asia; this important resource is becoming increasingly under pressure due to loss of forest and overharvesting because of rising demand from growing human populations and trade (legal and illegal). For this reason, the conservation of forests and sustainable use of wildlife are both imperative for improving rural livelihoods and poverty alleviation. A comprehensive literature review yielded 236 papers relevant to this topic, with the greatest number of papers discussing Southeast Asia (61%) followed by South Asia (22%) and East Asia (16%). Potential solutions that emerged from the review include the use of: measures of harvest to better gauge sustainable offtake levels, protected areas and recovery zones; improved governance; and the implementation of co-management partnerships. Potential solutions for the traditional medicine trade include urban demand reduction campaigns, introduction of synthetic alternatives, increased efforts to reduce illegal trade, and implementation of certification schemes for wildlife products. In all of these cases, a myriad of social implications, such as the importance and spiritual significance of bushmeat in different cultures, the preferences for bushmeat over farmed alternatives and the tradition of wildlife-derived medicines, must be considered. Areas for further research include: the study of climate change on bushmeat and food security; the traditional medicine supply chain; consumer reaction to synthetic alternatives; the use of bushmeat particularly for medicinal purposes in urban societies; and the negative effects of the growing wildlife trade on local livelihoods.
