Guidance for Completing CITES Non-Detriment Findings for Timber Produced via Assisted Production in Mexico
Description
The guide on completing non-detriment findings (NDFs) for exports of wood from CITES-listed tree species in Mexico provides key and relevant information for anyone involved or interested in environmental management and conservation, particularly those working on the management schemes and the process of conducting NDFs for trees artificially propagated, produced under natural conditions, or harvested from small-scale production on non-forestry lands.
Highlighting practical methodologies and essential considerations, the guide helps ensure that NDFs are conducted with scientific rigor and ecological awareness. It emphasizes the importance of management, monitoring and the need to consider factors like population status, distribution and harvest levels to protect species listed in CITES Appendix II. With a considerable timber trade in the region, this guidance is useful for promoting sustainable trade practices and conserving biodiversity. The guide helps align practices with international conservation standards and make a positive impact on global forestry management.
