Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 89 – CITES CoP19

How does the CITES Convention Work?

The Convention of Parties 19 (CoP19) recently took place in Panama and there were several significant proposals as it relates to the Lumber industry.  I have mentioned CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) in the past but wanted to use the recent convention to talk more about how the organization works.  How proposals are adopted and what those proposals look like in context with real world species trade.  Just to reiterate, CITES is not a lawmaking body but their decisions do inform other entities (like the US Lacey Act or EUTR) on what is regulated.  So in this episode I walk through the convention process and describe the annotations and working groups that come about through discourse between delegate nations and the outside observer organizations that attended.

Lumber Results from CoP19

  • Ipe (Tabebuia spp) was listed on Appendix II with a 24 mo implementation period
  • Cumaru (Dipteryx odorata) was listed on Appendix II with a 24 mo implementation period
  • Padauk (Pterocarpus spp)  was listed on Appendix II with a 90 day implementation period
  • African Mahogany (Khaya spp) was listed on Appendix II with a 90 day implementation period
  • Pernambuco or Brasilwood (Paubrasilia echinata) was not listed on Appendix I and remains on Appendix II with changes to the annotation about musical instrument trade that will only apply to first export.
