Identifying species likely threatened by international trade on the IUCN Red List can inform CITES trade measures - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Identifying species likely threatened by international trade on the IUCN Red List can inform CITES trade measures - Nature Ecology & Evolution | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Here, we develop a mechanism using the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species to identify species that are likely to be threatened by international trade. Of 2,211 such species, CITES includes 59% (1,307 species), leaving two-fifths overlooked and in potential need of international trade regulation. Our results can inform deliberations on potential proposals to revise trade measures for species at CITES Conference of the Parties meetings.

Why should I care about endangered species?

Why should I care about endangered species? | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Studies have found that unchecked deforestation and species extinctions will directly impact human well-being.Even little-known species can provide surprising benefits for humans, such as drugs that combat cancer.The benefits of protecting species may not be immediately evident, but the countless ecosystem services many animals and ecosystems provide make wildlife conservation worth the time and money.

Conservation : et si les animaux touchaient des royalties ?

Des chercheurs britanniques considèrent que l'image de certaines espèces animales est si utilisée par des marques que ces dernières devraient verser des royalties destinées à la sauvegarde de ces animaux.
