Title:

#12 - U.S. Proposals to CoP16

Description:

Countdown to CoP16: The global commerce in turtles in the last 20 years has followed a well-known pattern in the international wildlife trade â once a species is depleted or regulated, the trade often shifts to other species which are not as threatened in the wild or are less regulated. The United States has put forward a total of eight proposals for freshwater turtles and tortoises for consideration at CoP16, including the Roti Island snaked-neck turtle (pictured below). If adopted, these proposals will provide increased protection which will help prevent the successive depletion of these turtles, species by species.
