Petit rappel sur ce qu’est la Convention sur la diversité biologique : l’une des 3 Conventions de Rio #CBD. La biodiversité, c’est la diversité au sein des espèces et entre les espaces ainsi que celle des écosystème. Image
On a échoué à atteindre nos objectifs de la décennie passée pour la #biodiversité #objectifsdAichi. Ils étaient exhaustifs mais sont restés incantatoires, sans mécanisme de suivi, sans moyens de mise en œuvre, faute d’avoir identifié les pressions sur la biodiversité. Image

THREAD: Sunday is the #CITESCOP18 vote on woolly mammoth. bit.ly/2Z8hCRG

This is a unique vote. So here's a little background on why protections are needed for an extinct species. (1/5) Image
Yes, mammoths are extinct.

BUT #ClimateCrisis has exposed mammoth ivory in once-frozen regions and caused a spike in the largely unregulated trade. (2/5)
This has also allowed for the potential laundering of illegally obtained #elephant ivory disguised as being from a mammoth. (3/5) Image

THREAD: The woolly mammoth is extinct.

BUT ... the largely unregulated trade in its ivory may be impacting #elephants.

How?

#CITESCoP18 #WorldWildlifeConference (1/3) Image
The climate crisis has exposed mammoth ivory in once-frozen regions. That has caused a spike in the mammoth ivory trade.

And ... mammoth ivory can be hard to distinguish from elephant ivory. Potentially makes it easy to launder illegally obtained elephant ivory. (2/3) Image
"It’s ironic that an extinct species may be helping drive the depletion of an existing species, but that’s what may be happening," says WCS's @sslieberman.

That's why we support Israel's proposal to list the woolly mammoth on #CITES Appendix II. bit.ly/2Z8hCRG

It's hard keeping up with @leahmeth
We first worked together in 2012(!) to create @TheSharkStanley, the little character who helped protect sharks at #CITES2013
We later retooled him to create shark sanctuaries.
