Is trade regulation, defined by the international treaty CITES, the most suitable tool for protecting threatened plants and animals?
Drýk, Martin ; Slavíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Vejchodská, Eliška (referee)
This bachelor's thesis shall attempt to analyze individual approaches to protection of life threatened wild animals and plants. I shall focus on the current international trade regulatory policy, established by CITES, which approves the trade only after the other individual requirements and approvals have been vested. Since the population size of these plants and animals is constantly shrinking, what might be also pointing at the insufficient functionality of this system, if not directly at its detrimental consequences, I shall place the free market model against the current restrictive system. I shall clearly define proprietary rights related to these animals and plants, and also there will be an option for using these threatened species for commercial purposes. My experience with trade regulations and their consequences from other market segments shall me serve as a certain form of inspiration. The purpose of this work is to confirm that the regulated trade may not only be ineffective in saving wild animals and plants but even contributing to their extinction. Conversely enough, the application of the free market mechanism might rectify the current dissatisfying state.
