The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
has issued an interim special rule that will allow trade in products derived
from threatened beluga sturgeon as long as that trade is consistent with
regulatory requirements already in force under the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
The interim rule also provides for the continuation of ongoing international
cooperative conservation efforts to ensure the survival of the species
in the wild. |
