Possibilities for estimating the volume of traded forms of CITES organisms
JIRKŮ, Renáta
This thesis focuses on the analysis of the volume of trade in commodities from CITES organisms. The theoretical part discusses the nature of interdisciplinarity and its contribution in the fight against unsustainable wildlife trade. The practical part of the thesis provides a detailed analysis of the trade volume of the ten species from the seven taxonomic groups studied that had the largest number of records in 2020. The analysis consisted of finding the percentage of traded commodities that can be converted to whole organism equivalent and approximating the conversion factors for these commodities. The graphical representation of the range of values among the data examined and the statistical comparison of the proportion of each type of data for systematic groups present that the lowest proportion of data for which conversion to whole organism equivalent was possible are invertebrates and amphibians. The largest proportion of these data was for cartilaginous fish, fish, reptiles and mammals. The thesis presents an overview of the allowed traded commodities with preferred and alternative units. This overview is given by CITES and the course of analysis yielded a conclusion that gives a recommendation that it would be advisable to monitor these standards and ensure that the traded consignments are inspected, this would greatly assist the correct interpretation of the trade monitoring data.
