BREAKING NEWS – PROPOSAL TO UPLIST LIONS TO APPENDIX I FALLS: CITES CoP17 has dealt a devastating blow to African lions, already decimated with only 20,000 lions left in the wild.
Nine African nations (Niger, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Nigeria and Togo) wanted to raise protection for lions by uplisting them to Appendix I, the maximum level of protection. The move was intended to end the lion bone trade. Instead, a compromise proposal was hammered together to appease the fierce opposition from lion bone and body part traders and the hunting for entertainment enthusiasts.

Lions remain on CITES Appendix II, but with a “zero annual export quota for bones, bone pieces, products, claws, skeletons, skulls and teeth removed from the wild and traded for commercial purposes.” However, South Africa has been permitted to set its own export quota for the same body parts and products from their captive breeding operations. Trouble is, nobody can tell the difference between wild lion bones and captive bred lion bones. Tragically, it does not include lion skins or parts/derivatives obtained through captive breeding.
This move will only further serve to encourage the already tumultuous and thriving trade in lion parts. Shame on #CITES for their ridiculous decisions to sentence Africa’s lions to a terrible fate.
