| Abstract |
|
After a short introduction into the aims of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and the definition of the different breeding categories used by CITES (“captive bred“, “captive born“ or “farmed“, and “captive raised“ or “ranched“), we present and evaluate import and export statistics of different species and countries. These show many cases of incorrect and inconsistent data, in some cases chelonians are misidentified, or they enter into a country as “wild caught“ and leave it as “captive bred“. Examples of typical trading routes are given and named. We address the limits of CITES and show possibilities for the importing countries to improve the conservation status, i.e. by double-checking non-detriment findings, as is mandatory for each import into the European Union.
