Opposition from Western conservationists to population control has seen their numbers explode in some areas, resulting in environmental damage and attacks on farmers, according to some African governments.
Japan and China, two key markets for elephant products, will also be represented by their ambassadors to Zimbabwe. While the overall population of African elephants has declined, with poaching rampant in many areas, their numbers have swelled in Zimbabwe and neighboring Botswana. Together with other southern African countries, they’ve demanded an easing of the curbs and the right to do as they please with their elephants and ivory stockpiles.
“We want to make sure we build consensus among African countries when we speak on elephant conservation,” Tinashe Farawo, head of communications for Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management, said in an interview. “This is especially ahead of CoP 19 in Panama,” he said in reference to the next meeting of CITES in November.
Most African elephants are currently included in Appendix I of CITES, which limits trade in all products derived from the animals. The elephant populations in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa are included in Appendix II, which is less restrictive, but a special annotation deems their ivory untradeable.
Good initiative CITES was so wrongly constructed it does allow those who are directly affected by the animals have a say on managing conflict
