ʻO CITES, kahi hana koʻikoʻi o ka honua i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e pale i ka luku nui ʻana i nā elepani, ua ʻae ʻia ʻo Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Kina, Thailand, a me Philippines, kekahi o nā ʻāina ʻino loa o ka honua no ka poaching a me ke kālepa ʻana i nā ʻelepani ua ʻae ʻia e haʻalele i ka ʻaelike. .
He kuikahi multilateral ʻo CITES no ka pale ʻana i nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona i make. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ma muli o kahi ʻōlelo hoʻoholo i hāpai ʻia i ka makahiki 1963 ma kahi hālāwai o nā lālā o ka International Union for Conservation of Nature. Ua wehe ʻia ka ʻaha kūkā no ke kau inoa ʻana i ka makahiki 1973 a ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka CITES ma ka lā 1 Iulai 1975.
Ua ʻae ʻia lākou e haʻalele i ke kaʻina hana ʻo National Ivory Action Plan (NIAP) ma kahi hālāwai hou o CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) no ka mea, ua manaʻo ʻia ua hoʻokō nui lākou i kā lākou National Ivory Action Plans.
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻae loa ka Environment Investigation Agency (EIA) i ka mea i kapa ʻia he kūleʻa. Ke'ōlelo neiʻo ia e mau ana nā kī āpau e pili ana i ka hoʻokōʻana ma ka honua a ke koi nei i ka manaʻo o ka holomua. "ʻO ka hoʻoholo e ʻae i kēia mau ʻaoʻao e haʻalele i ke kaʻina NIAP he pilikia nui ia no ka mea i hana ʻia me ka ʻole o ke kūkākūkā ʻana me nā poʻe loea kūʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ka loiloi o ka hopena maoli ma ka honua," in. He hōʻike EIA ma ke kaʻina hana e hōʻike ana i nā hakahaka nui e like me ka nele o ka hoʻopiʻi a me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa pale.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo NIAP ma ke ʻano he hoʻolālā no nā ʻāina koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a i ʻole ke kālepa niho ʻelepani e lawe ʻia. Loaʻa iā ia nā hoʻolālā kikoʻī o ka ʻāina, e hōʻike ana i nā kānāwai koʻikoʻi a me nā hana hoʻokō e lawe ʻia no ka hakakā ʻana i ke kālepa niho ʻelepani hewa ʻole, aia kēlā me kēia NIAP kūʻokoʻa i nā manawa kikoʻī a me nā milestone no ka hoʻokō ʻana a koi i ka hōʻike maʻamau iā CITE
Wahi a ka EIA hōʻike, ʻo Kina ka huakaʻi nui loa o ka honua no ka ʻelepani, aia ʻo Uganda i nā ʻāina 10 kiʻekiʻe ma ke ʻano o ka nui o ka hao ʻelepani nui, ua loaʻa ʻo Tanzania i kekahi o nā emi nui loa o kāna heluna elephant, hoʻokani ʻo Thailand. ʻO ke kūlana koʻikoʻi ma ke ʻano he wahi transit no ke kālepa niho ʻelepani a ʻo Kenya kahi wahi puka nui no ka niho ʻelepani hewa ʻole i hoʻoholo ʻia no Asia.
ʻO ka hōʻike pū kekahi e pili ana i ka palaho, ka nele o ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana a me nā mea hewa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia. "Ke kū nei kēia mau ʻāina i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i ka elephant poaching a me ke kālepa niho ʻelepani," wahi a ka EIA.
"ʻO ka hui pū ʻana (ʻaʻole ʻo Philippines), ke hōʻike nei lākou i ka 40% o ka nui o ka ʻelepani i hōʻike ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa a ʻoi aku ma mua o 50% o ka nui o ka nui o ka niho ʻelepani i hopu ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa ma waena o 2007 a me 2017," wahi a ia. he ʻōlelo hui i hoʻopuka ʻia e nā NGO holoholona hihiu kiʻekiʻe. Hoʻomaopopo pū ka ʻōlelo iā Iapana, Singapore a me Hema e like me nā ʻāina hopohopo, e kāhea ana iā lākou e komo pū i ka hana NIAP.
ʻO kēia mau ʻāina ʻelua i waena o kahi lima e ʻae nei i ke kālepa kūloko i ka niho ʻelepani ʻoiai he paipai mai CITES e pani ʻia kēia mau mākeke kalepa kūloko ma ke ʻano he mea wikiwiki. Ma kahi hālāwai IUCN ma 2016 lākou kūʻē i ka pāpā ʻana i ke kālepa ʻelepani. He hoike na TRAFFIC Ma ke kālepa niho ʻelepani o Iapana e hōʻike maopopo ana i ka hoʻoulu ʻia ʻana o ka mākeke kūloko o Iapana e ka nele o ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe e hoʻopau i ke kālepa niho ʻelepani, e alakaʻi ana i kahi mākeke maikaʻi ʻole i hoʻoponopono ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e kono ana i ka lawe ʻana aku i ke kānāwai ʻelepani. Ua nui ka heluna o nā mea kūʻai hewa ʻole mai Iapana a Kina, me ka ʻāina i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mākeke niho ʻelepani nui loa ma Asia.
Ma ka hālāwai 17th o ka Conference of the Parties to CITES i mālama ʻia ma Johannesburg ma 2016, ua manaʻo ʻo ʻApelika Hema e wehe hou i ke kālepa honua, e noi ana e ʻae ʻia lākou e kūʻai aku i kā lākou mau waihona ʻelepani. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia kēia manaʻo hui a South Africa, Zimbabwe a me Namibia.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- According to the EIA report, China is the world's largest destination for ivory, Uganda is in the top 10 countries in terms of the number of large-scale ivory seizures, Tanzania has suffered one of the most dramatic declines in its elephant populations, Thailand plays a key role as a transit point for ivory trafficking and Kenya is a key exit point for illegal ivory destined for Asia.
- A report by TRAFFIC on Japan's ivory trade shows clearly how Japan's domestic market is fuelled by an absence of high-level commitment to end the ivory trade, leading to a poorly regulated market that in fact invites the illegal export of ivory.
- ʻO CITES, kahi hana koʻikoʻi o ka honua i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e pale i ka luku nui ʻana i nā elepani, ua ʻae ʻia ʻo Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Kina, Thailand, a me Philippines, kekahi o nā ʻāina ʻino loa o ka honua no ka poaching a me ke kālepa ʻana i nā ʻelepani ua ʻae ʻia e haʻalele i ka ʻaelike. .
