CBCGDF Attended the Non-detriment Findings for Specimens of Appendix-II Species Taken from Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction Technical Workshop

Non-detriment Findings for Specimens of Appendix-II Species Taken from Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction Technical Workshop was held on 25-26 April 2024  in-person at Centre International de Conférences Genève (CICG) at Rue de Varembé 17, 1211, Geneva, Switzerland.


Representatives of the International Department of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) have attended the meeting in person.

The workshop is organized in accordance with Decision 19.136 on Non-detriment findings for specimens of Appendix-II species taken from areas beyond national jurisdiction adopted by the Conference of the Parties to CITES at its 19th meeting (CoP19, Panama City, November 2022).

The workshop considered how non-detriment findings (NDFs) might best be achieved for the introduction from the sea of specimens of CITES Appendix II-listed commercially exploited aquatic organisms taken by multiple Parties in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

CBCGDF appreciate the green meeting setup!

 

The representative of the CITES Secretariat briefly introduced the two-day process of the seminar and reminded the participants that the conference was paperless and all the documents for the workshop design were available online. The representative of CBCGDF also expressed concern that the classification of garbage cans at the venue was more detailed than before, and more detailed classification of recyclable garbage was carried out.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
