Legal regulation of trade in CITES specimens
Krejčová, Iveta ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Derlich, Stanislav (referee)
Excessive usage of wildlife is the second most common cause of species decline on our planet, and thus one of the direct threats to biodiversity. Since biodiversity has a virtually existential significance for the well-being of people, it needs to be cared for in order to slow down its decline. The aim of this thesis is to analyze and evaluate legal regulations at the international, EU, and Czech level, to present the instruments and institutes used to regulate the trade in CITES specimens, and to propose solutions for potential problems. Where deemed necessary or appropriate, a comparison of international legal regulations with EU and Czech legislation is made. This thesis is divided into 6 chapters that are further internally subdivided into subchapters. The first chapter deals with the importance of trade in endangered species of fauna and flora in relation to the loss of biodiversity. The second chapter provides an overview of the legal regulation governing trade in endangered species at different levels (international, EU, and Czech). The third chapter introduces the individual bodies responsible for the implementation of the Convention CITES (or Regulation No. 338/97) at international, EU, and Czech level. The Czech national authorities are classified according to the Act no. 100/2004 by the...
Data in the CITES trade database and their interpretation
VRŠECKÁ, Lucie
An international trade in endangered species of plants and animals is regulated by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Information on trades are available in CITES Trade Database. However, there are a lot of mistakes and discrepancies in this database that lead to inaccurate interpretation of data. The aim of this thesis was to: (1) identify mistakes in the database, record types and their possible ways of interpretation and (2) quantify the volumes of trade based on different ways of data interpretations in selected species of the family Ursidae. There were found 19 different combinations of missing data, except by unlisted unit and traded quantity specified only by one state of the trade and 5 types of record interpretation. Data were compared with the CITES annual records reported by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic. This thesis contains also recommendations for evaluation of international trade.
