Pari kekeh dan pari kikir merupakan salah satu komoditas perikanan di Indonesia. Di sisi lain, kedua kelompok pari ini masuk ke dalam daftar merah International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) sebagai spesies ikan yang terancam punah karena populasinya terus menurun dan kerusakan habitat mengancam populasinya. Masuknya kedua pari ini ke dalam apendiks II Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) menuntut pengelolaan perikanan untuk menjamin kelangsungan populasinya di alam. Informasi mengenai perikanan pari kekeh dan pari kikir ini masih sangat minim, maka perlu kajian mengenai perikanan ini untuk dasar pengelolaan ke depan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi umum perikanan pari kekeh dan pari kikir di Jawa Tengah dan tangkapan rata-rata pari kekeh dan pari kikir per trip. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan Mei–Juli 2019 di Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai (PPP) Tegalsari Tegal, PPP Bajomulyo Pati dan PPP Tasik Agung Rembang. Metode pengambilan data yang dilakukan yaitu perlingkupan kegiatan perikanan pari kekeh dan pari kikir dan pencatatan aktivitas pendaratan. Analisis yang dilakukan yaitu analisis spesies dan rata-rata tangkapan per trip (CPUE). Selama penelitian diperoleh 202 trip kapal mendaratkan ikan pari kekeh dan pari kikir di tiga lokasi pendaratan. Ikan pari ini merupakan hasil tangkapan sampingan dari armada penangkapan ikan cantrang dengan ukuran 10–150 GT. Hasil analisis menunjukkan terdapat 6 spesies pari kekeh dan pari kikir yang didaratkan dan rata-rata hasil tangkapan pari kekeh dan pari kikir PPP Tegalsari sebesar 10,3 ekor/trip, PPP Bajomulyo sebesar 9,13 ekor/trip dan PPP Tasikagung sebesar 3,56 ekor/trip yang artinya jenis ikan ini cukup intensif tertangkap oleh armada penangkapan ikan cantrang.

Abstract Choeropsis liberiensis (Morton, 1849), commonly called the pygmy hippopotamus or pygmy hippo, is the only extant species in the genus Choeropsis. A solitary, forest-dwelling ungulate endemic to the Upper Guinean forest ecosystem in West Africa, it is classified as “Endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources and is a Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) Appendix II species. The smaller of the two extant hippopotamids, it is relatively uncommon in zoological facilities and private collections worldwide.

To Receive

Wildlife faces a number of threats due to human activity, including overexploitation from excessive and/or illegal trade. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is the main international legal instrument to address such overexploitation. However, not all species threatened by excessive trade are protected by CITES, leading to criticism that it is an instrument for the preservation of exploitation as opposed to the protection of wildlife (Goyes and Sollund 2016). This article explores whether CITES classifications can be said to perpetuate speciesist thinking. We highlight which species are more likely to receive protection by analysing which species are listed and how some species move between the CITES Appendices and comparing this to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) classifications for traded wildlife. We find that a species’ market value, charisma, and survival status form a complex set of characteristics that lead (or not) to the continual trade of some species, even though they are facing extinction from human consumption.

A germination technique trial was carried out to improve the germination of Aloe polyphylla Schönland ex Pillans (common name spiral aloe). These germination trials involved different media and temperatures, increased oxygen levels, and light and dark environments. The best results (90% germination) were obtained by vernalising the seeds for two weeks and then placing them in a sunny, but not bright, area with varying temperatures on a water-based medium of either 10% recommended fertiliser solution or in distilled water.The germination of Aloe polyphylla was also compared to three other species in the genus: A. branddraaiensis Groenew, A. castanea Schönl and A. elegans Tod.. The results from this trial showed that, like A. polyphylla, these species can also germinate in water-based media.The success of finding the key requirements for germination show that techniques of this type are important methods for conserving this threatened species and can also be a useful propagation tool for the horticulture industry. The lack of research on this plant highlights the importance of this work for conserving this spectacular species which is listed as Vulnerable in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Plant Red Data list and is registered on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Wild Fauna

The CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants doesn’t threaten their survival. The resolution was approved in 1963 with a draft at a meeting of members of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Convention entered into force on 1 July 1975. Bangladesh ratified the convention in November 1981. The parties state of the CITES has been binding towards it. It regulates the international trade in specimens of selected species to a specific mechanism. All import, export, re-export, and introduction from the sea of species covered by the Convention have to be authorized through a licensing system. Each State party to the Convention is required to delegate one or more Management Authorities responsible of controlling that licensing system. The term ‘‘import’’ means to land on, bring into, or introduce into or attempt to land on, bring into, or introduce into, anywhere subject to the jurisdiction of the States. Moreover, it included whether or not such landing, bringing, or introduction constitutes an importation within the meaning of the customs laws of the States.

Increasing Trend

Wildlife trade involves many animal and plant species and their products. CITES (Convention on International Trafe in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) aims on protecting endangered plants and animals from being overharvested for the purposes of international trade through system of regulations, permits and monitoring. CITES Trade Database is a tool dedicated for the evidence of international trade of endangered wildlife species. We used records from the CITES Trade Database to conduct the analysis of the legal wildlife trade in the Czech Republic in the period 2008-2018. A total amount of 12,615 shipment records were extracted from CITES Trade Database. Amongst most imported taxons belong mammals (mostly genuses Ursus and Panthera) and reptiles (primarily genuses Varanus and Triocerus), while most exported taxons are birds (prevailing genuses Platycercus, Polytelis and Falco) and mammals (especially genus Lemur). While the export records showed an increasing trend, the imports were culminating around the average level of 642.3 records per year and lowest amount in the last year of the period. We emphasise smuggling of snowdrops and tigers and their products, which were reported to be seized, but with lack of records in legal trade.
