JULY 15, 2011

But the biggest story that is about birds is the conference that took place last week. From July 6-8, there was a European conference in Larnaca about illegal bird killing , organized by Terra Cypria. It seems that it came off rather well, and was co-organized by the Cyprus Game Fund and members of the Bern Convention.

In Africa, one elephant is being killed every 15 minutes. Will the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) conference delegates up-list them to Appendix I of the Convention, forbidding any future sale over international borders? Another ellie is being killed as you read this line.

There were dozens and dozens of these papers given at conferences until finally someone made a rule against them. This allowed the Blumenschine crew to carry out experiments that involved every possible series of events, using animals of different sizes. Photo by Mikebaird.
