Hi folks,
have a look at this:
"Pylos is the home of the African Chameleon and in fact it is the only place they can be found in Europe. There are only 300 individual chameleons left and they are endangered, not because of natural predators, climate change or even tourism. They are endangered because the Greek Ministry of Agriculture has issued a license to the company Hippo Vlachos and Sons to collect 320 specimens and sell as pets. Not only the European Chameleon but birds, tortoises, snakes, tree frogs, lizards and other
endangered species have been included in this plan to 'save' the species by collecting them all and selling them. Upset? Write to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species at cites@unep.ch"
