Posted by: Carlton at Thu Jun 14 11:51:32 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] Please don't think of export/import bans as a "waste". So little is known about wild populations of almost any cham species that it is only conservative to limit or stop wild capture until the country of origin has some idea whether the population can tolerate collection for the pet trade. No one wants to see species be collected into extinction. It also gives the whole hobby a bad reputation. Madagascar just doesn't have the resources to manage its wildlife yet, and hasn't demonstrated that most of its cham trade is sustainable. The down side to bans is that dedicated breeders can't get animals to work with of course, but they do protect vulnerable species in the mean time. | ||
