Abstract
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聮 survival, or to their role within the ecosystems in which they occur (known as the 聯non-detriment finding聰). Based on two workshops convened by 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 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.
