This work offers an execellent example regarding the establishment of a management plan to accomplish the requirements of Article IV, Regulation of Trade of Species Included in Appendix II, on making non-detriment findings.

Acceptance of an NDF Based on Quotas Adopted by the Conference of the Parties

Acceptance of a non-detriment finding can also be "agreed" by the Conference of the Parties, based on quotas* adopted by the CoP:

  • Annual export quotas for live specimens and hunting trophies of cheetah in the Appendices;
  • Recommendations that quotas for Appendix I species set by the CoP be interpreted as fulfilling non-detriment requirements by exporting and importing countries (Resolution Conf. 9.21 (Rev. CoP13); and
  • Recommendations to accept the non-detriment findings of exporting countries for non-commercial imports of hunting trophies in general (Resolution Conf. 2.11 (Rev.), and for leopard, markhor and black rhinoceros within specified quota limits (Resolution Conf. 10.14 (Rev. CoP16), Resolution Conf. 10.15 (Rev. CoP14) and Resolution Conf. 13.5 (Rev. CoP14)).
  • The quotas specified in the Appendices are usually established for hunting trophies or in cases when there are concerns about a species transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II.
