Tender Details

When Germany joined the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1976, it committed itself to protecting wild animal and plant species from endangerment through international trade. According to BNatSchG, the BfN (FG II 1.4) is the Scientific CITES authority, which results in mandatory tasks for the BfN. The verification of sustainability (Non Detriment Finding = NDF) for imports of species protected according to CITES Appendix II, or Appendix B of EU Regulation 338/97 in accordance with Article 42a) of the same regulation represents one of the core tasks of the BfN as a national scientific CITES authority. In order to be able to make technically sound decisions, the BfN relies on data from the countries of origin. Often they are However, information on inventory situations is scant. This affects, among other things, a large number of commercially relevant chameleon species from Madagascar. Germany is one of the EU's main importing countries of live reptiles for the pet trade, including Malagasy species and therefore bears a special responsibility for their protection. A total of 160 Malagasy reptile species are listed in the CITES appendices. CITES export quotas in Madagascar have historically been the most common internationally broken, suggesting inadequate correction of export quotas due to missing data on population sizes and densities (Morton, Nijman, & Edwards, 2024). Such current, local data are particularly lacking for Malagasy chameleons (89 species in the CITES appendices), which makes a realistic assessment of the threat status by IUCN and implementation of NDFs by the CITES Scientific Authorities in Madagascar, but also of the importing countries in the EU, difficult. Germany and science For many years, testing groups in the EU have had difficulties in assessing the environmental impact (NDF) of imports of Malagasy chameleon species for the home due to a lack of population data.
