UNEP-WCMC aims to help decisionmakers recognize the value of biodiversity to people everywhere, and to apply this knowledge to all that they do. The Centre s challenge is to transform complex data into policy-relevant information, to build tools and systems for analysis and integration, and to support the needs of nations and the international community as they engage in joint programmes of action. UNEP-WCMC provides objective, scientifically rigorous products and services that include ecosystem assessments, support for implementation of environmental agreements, regional and global biodiversity information, research on threats and impacts, and development of future scenarios for the living world.

4 INTRODUCTION In accordance with the provisions of Article XVI, paragraph 3, of CITES, the Government of Ghana withdrew a number of species from Appendix III on 2 nd February 2007 (Notification to the Parties No. 2007/007). The withdrawal took effect on 4 th March A list of the species withdrawn by Ghana from Appendix III, together with the Annex of EC Reg. 338/97 in which they are listed, is presented in Table 1. While the majority of these species were listed in Annex C, a number are listed in Annexes A and B. UNEP-WCMC was requested to prepare a trade review on those species which are listed on Annex B (i.e. Agelastes meleagrides, Corythaeola cristata, Crinifer piscator and Musophaga violacea) to inform SRG discussions on their potential removal from Annex B. Additionally, trade tables of the species listed on Annex A are presented at the end of the document (see Annex). Mellivora capensis and Dendrocygna bicolor were removed from Appendix III by Ghana, but are also listed in Appendix III by Botswana and Honduras, respectively. Table 1.

Qatar P live C Importer United States Bermuda T live C Importer 8 8 Jamaica T live C Importer Total Importer CONSERVATION STATUS IN RANGE STATES: Agelastes meleagrides occurs in Sierra Leone (Gola Forest region only, population estimated at 5,700-8,700), Liberia (population estimated at more than 10,000 in 1985), Côte d'ivoire (notably Taï National Park, population estimated at 30,000-40,000 in 1990, and two other new sites) and Ghana (population estimated at 1,000 birds, but these could be remnant populations that are not viable and the species may have already been extirpated from small logged forests i.e. up to 100 km2). In 1995, the world population was optimistically estimated at 85, ,000. This species is classified as Vulnerable because it is inferred to have suffered a rapid population decline over the last 10 years, based on the rate of forest destruction throughout its range, which is now highly fragmented. It is also heavily persecuted in some parts of its range. This decline is 5

8 likely to continue in the future, and it is possible the species will disappear from all but a few protected areas. Effective protection is essential for the maximum number of sites where it still occurs. (BirdLife International, 2007). May occur in Guinea (Maclaud, 1906; Halleux, 1994) but requires confirmation.

Its status in the Republic of Congo was reviewed at SRG26 after the establishment of an export quota of 1500 by that country in However, it was concluded that this quota was not excessive and a positive opinion was introduced on 22/05/2003. Its status in Guinea was reviewed at SRG32, where it was concluded that the recorded level of trade was unlikely to be a threat to the species. It was further suggested that the low level of global trade indicated that the species would be more appropriately listed in Annex C rather than B. TRADE: 7

The global population size has not been quantified, but it is believed to be large as the species is described as 'frequent' in at least parts of its range (del Hoyo and Sargatal, 1997). Global population trends have not been quantified, but populations appear to be stable (del Hoyo et al. 1997) so the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. (BirdLife International, 2007) EU-reported imports of the species fluctuated between 0 and 84 wild-sourced live specimens annually, with a total of 350 live specimens reported between reported figures were slightly higher, totalling 540 wild-sourced live individuals for the same period. Guinea was the main exporter. GUINEA: It was recorded in Basse-Guinée by Maclaud (1906) and in primary forest areas on Mt Nimba (Bouet, ; Brosset, 1984). It was found to be widespread and not uncommon along well wooded tributaries of the Sassandra basin in October-November 1984 and February-April 1985; in addition, one was seen in the Loffa valley (Walsh, 1987). It was found to be common in primary and secondary forest and wooded edges of old clearings, up to 900 m, in the Macenta region during (Halleux, 1994). It was frequently recorded on the Kounounkan Massif in 1992 (Hayman et al., 1995). It was rarely encountered in the highlands but found commonly in the lowlands of Pic de Fon Forest Reserve in November and December 2002 (Demey and Rainey, 2004) (UNEP-WCMC, 2005).

For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. (BirdLife International, 2007) Common resident in wooded savanna belt, from Mauritania to Sierra Leone east to Chad and Central African Republic; also coastal Liberia and Congo along the Congo R (Borrow and Demey, 2001). EU reported imports of the species fluctuated from 220 in 1996 to 0 in 2002 and to 70 in 2005, mainly originating in Guinea. GUINEA: It was reported to be common in Koundara and Gaoual départements in 1987 (Morel and Morel, 1988) and was recorded in the same region by Maclaud (1906). It was found frequently along the coast during visits from 1988 to 1990 (Altenburg and van der Kamp, 1991). It was found to be abundant in savanna woodlands north-west of the Ziama Massif during (Halleux, 1994). It was recorded from near the coast and at Kindia in the west in 1991 (Demey, 1995). It was frequently recorded on the Kounounkan Massif in 1992 (Hayman et al., 1995). It was commonly recorded in primary woodland and bush in the Parc National du Haut Niger, and in Kouroussa, in (Nikolaus, 2000) (UNEP-WCMC, 2005). 12
