“…Numerous studies have concluded that regulation of wildlife trade laws within Asia, be it in relation to international or domestic trade, are insufficient (van Dijk et al 2000;Nooren and Claridge 2001;Davies 2005;Lee et al 2005;Giles et al 2006;Nijman 2006;Nekaris and Nijman 2007;Shepherd and Nijman 2007a, b;Eudey 2008;Zhang et al 2008), and there is an urgent need for initiatives to make regulatory mechanisms more effective. Proper licensing and registration within all sectors of the industry, together with introduction of mandatory minimum standards and appropriate training and inspection schemes need to be introduced (cf.…”

Wildlife trade is the very heart of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development providing an income for some of the least economically affluent people and it generates considerable revenue nationally. In Asia the unsustainable trade in wildlife has been identified as one of the main conservation challenges. Internationally, wildlife trade is regulated through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES) to which all Southeast Asian nations are signatory. I obtained data on international trade in CITES-listed animals in the period 1998-2007. In all [35 million animals (0.3 million butterflies; 16.0 million seahorses; 0.1 million other fish; 17.4 million reptiles; 0.4 million mammals; 1.0 million birds) were exported in this period, 30 million (*300 species) of them being wild-caught. In addition 18 million pieces and 2 million kg of live corals were exported. Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and China are the major exporters of wild-caught animals and the European Union and Japan are the most significant importers. Over this period exports in birds significantly decreased, trade in the other taxa either increased or remained stable. For all taxa but butterflies the vast majority of individuals represent wild-caught individuals. Records of illegal or undeclared international trade are scant but can be significantly larger than levels of official exports. It is concluded that there is an urgent need for better assessments of what levels of exploitation are sustainable (including exploring appropriate proxies for Non Detriment Findings), for initiatives to make regulatory mechanisms more effective (including the introduction of minimum mandatory standards and monitoring selected wildlife trade hubs), and for better licensing and registration. Funding for at least some of these initiatives can be obtained by imposing small levies on exports of CITES-listed wildlife.

“…But efforts are on to transfer the ineffective methods to other parts of the State, which only substantiate the preceding observation that the issue has political overtones, and lack community approach. For this there is need to obtain unbiased public opinion about the measures to curtail human-monkey conflict, which is a global issue (Hill 2000;Estrada 2006;Eudey 2008;Isabirye-Basuta and Lwanga 2008;Nahallage et al 2008;Marchal and Hill 2009), rather focusing the problem in a biased manner as 'monkey menace.' In our analysis, we found that people in this small sample also perceive the problem in terms of larger issues, which involves the cultural and emotional aspects too.…”

Public opinion plays a vital role in the planning and management of wildlife. The present study explored the effects of habitat, residency, and gender on the opinions of people regarding human-monkey conflict in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. For this purpose an opinion survey of 400 participants was conducted on: (a) the intensity of man-monkey conflict, and (b) measures taken to resolve this conflict. A 2x2x2 factorial design with two levels of habitat (temple, bazaar), residency (resident, non-resident), and gender (male, female) was employed. The residents of Shimla perceived more man-monkey conflict and therefore felt greater need for its effective resolution , than the non-residents. The habitat and gender neither affected the intensity nor the measures taken to resolve the conflict.
