Sins 97 several new species where named without any consideration for morphology and ecology, that resulted in a total ban on export for these species. I think it’s a deliberate action from taxonomist, if you name a new specie Varanus sweetie from Sorong and the Indonesian authorities don’t accept this name, they will not allow exportation. No population surveys have been made for most of the species described sins 97 and often the peoples that names them have never even been on location, so this protection thing doesn’t apply.
Also in some cases they banned export based on a simple article in reptiles magazine, they believed the specie threatened because the article said so, yet no survey whatsoever was performed. Its not really that important to me that many specie aren’t exported, however when names like kaliback and karlshmiti are still used on CITES documents, makes me wonder why you cant agree with country of origin before naming a new specie or renaming one.
