Posted by: Kelly_Haller at Sat Aug 14 00:53:13 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Kelly_Haller ] The original intent of ESA legislation was to protect species, foreign or domestic, from decimation from commercial exploitation by over collecting in their native countries and excessive importation into the U.S. The main source of control at the time under the ESA was by making importation and interstate trade within the U.S. in those species illegal. Protection of foreign species within their own countries in the 1970’s was much more difficult as the IUCN was weaker then and CITES was just getting started. The Indian python was subject to over collection within its range and was about the only boid in high demand in the 1970’s. I think there was also serious pressure from the Indian government as well to help protect the species. I think most also believe that a re-evaluation of this species is in order, but don’t hold your breath. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
