Elements for a non-detriment finding of Cedrela spp. in Bolivia—A CITES implementation case study

摘要: Abstract Cedrela odorata and C. fissilis are two tropical tree species that have been widely harvested for their timber. In response to this heavy exploitation, the listed in Appendix III of Convention on International Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora (CITES). The aim study was provide important elements necessary making CITES Non-Detriment Findings spp. Bolivia using a wide variety sources information its distribution, population structure, management at multiple spatial scales. A national large-scale database forest inventories created, including about trees certain with diameter breast height (dbh) ≥20. These data were used make non-detriment findings (NDFs) following guidance timber species. Spatial prediction habitat revealed consistent pattern probability across Bolivia. genus occurs areas formerly or currently occupied by ten twelve types described as fissilis, density ranging from 0.4 159 trees > 60 cm dbh per 100 ha. Based these data, annual export quota should be 3513.1 m3 This country-level case could roadmap other studies may eventually lead uplisting genus. Including II help ensure harvest supply international markets is conducted sustainable manner, without damaging target ecosystem.
