Goldenseal is yet another threatened herb in the United States and other parts of the world. It currently sells for about 100 a pound, making it highly popular for individual, independent workers who tear it out of its natural habitat. In 2003, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species proposed listing it as an endangered species. [Pg.40]

Defeat of Armor. It is damage to the armor protection of ships or armored vehicles which will result in endangering the lives of personnel and damage to material behind the armor. The types of ammo which serve for defeating armor are ... [Pg.460]

Fibroblasts were selected because they are readily cultivated and radio-labeled and are available from skin explants of a variety of species. Autoradiograms of radiolabeled cellular proteins are more diverse and easily analyzable for molecular systematics than alternatives such as silver-stained serum or erythrocyte protein patterns. We have achieved nearly 100% success rates at minimal discomfort and risk to human subjects by establishing cultures from 3 mm punch biopsies from the upper buttock. Local lidocaine anesthesia is used. Samples are collected following informed consent and under an approved human research protocol. Other species are sampled by dart gun8 or while sedated. Skin samples can be collected from various body sites without compromising the 2D electrophoresis metric, which does not rely on quantitative differences in protein expression. To comply with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), tissues collected from wild and captive exotic animals must be obtained under specific permits issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. [Pg.114]

A distinction is made between academic and industrial requests for access. Commercial requests must be submitted to MEEFT at the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) department and possibly also to the Ministry of Trade. The procedures are quite simple for research purposes (small quantities of biological materials). But for commercial/industrial activities and CITES species, there are specific regulations such as the need to provide proof of the existence of a nursery from which plants have been collected there is also a quota. [Pg.103]

Labeling to identify destination address and, where appropriate, customs agents at the destination airport is required. If samples are of animal origin, specifically those covered by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), it is essential that clearance is obtained from both the sending and receiving countries relevant authorities. Without this, delays will ensue and more than likely samples will be compromised. [Pg.280]

Each year nearly 13,000 animals arrive at North American zoos and aquariums. Of those, about 5000 are born there. The rest, according to the internationai Species information System, are transported by plane, truck, or boat from across town or from remote locations across the world (Davis, 2004). Some 5000 species are protected under an agreement called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Fiona (CITES). With a conservation mission, zoos and aquariums have begun to produce more wild animals than they consume. More than 90% of mammals and 70% of birds on display were born in captivity. [Pg.392]

Such precautions are particularly important in endangered areas. Where there are threats of substance, it is important to carry out regular geodesic measurements along the route and to measure the pipes for possible stretching. In densely populated areas and in important water catchment areas, the following safety measures are necessary ... [Pg.642]

Zone 21 may comprise amongst others areas surrounding apparatuses containing dust, if the dust can leak into the surroundings and settle there in endangering quantities (e.g. in milling locations, where the dust may leak from the mill and settle). [Pg.180]

According to whaling reports, around 1 % of the animals (principally males) suffer from this disease. However, the amount of ambergris in hunted whales can be considerable. In the case of one sperm whale, which died in the Antarctic in 1953, this came to 421 kg (Fig. 3.47). The ambergris from slaughtered animals is of inferior quality, because it has not been ripened in sea-water. Nowadays, sperm whales are a protected species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (also known as the Washington Convention), and the scented materials are obtained by chemical synthesis. [Pg.140]

This paper presents the results of investigahons on the state of the environment in the Danube River Basin, and an evaluation of the consequences of NATO bombing. In order to enable a comparison of the state of the environment prior and after the war, the paper presents the quality of watercourse in endangered locahons prior to the air strikes. [Pg.255]
