Abstract

Decision directed to Secretariat

The Secretariat shall, subject to external resources and as part of the African Carnivores Initiative: a) encourage and support all Parties with quotas for leopard hunting trophies established under Resolution Conf. 10.14 (Rev. CoP19) to exchange information and lessons learnt regarding the process for determining that such quotas are non-detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild; and b) support range States, upon request, to consolidate existing information relating to the management and monitoring of leopard and hunting quotas that assist Parties in the making of non-detriment findings for trade in leopard hunting trophies in compliance with Resolution Conf. 10.14 (Rev. CoP19), facilitate the sharing of information with relevant Parties, including range States without export quotas, preferably through an in-person workshop, and bring any aspects relevant to the mandate of the Animals Committee to its attention; and c) encourage and facilitate the dissemination of such information with other relevant Parties, in particular importing countries, as appropriate.
