Summary
The authors examine two case studies: the first on the legal and regulated sustainable use of the markhor in Pakistan, facilitated by CITES Resolution 10.15 (Rev. CoP14) on “Establishment of quotas for markhor hunting trophies”, which establishes a quota of 12 trophies for export from Pakistan; and the other on the emerging framework for the legal and sustainable use of markhor in Tajikistan, which at the time of writing was yet to become a member of CITES. They argue why CITES membership, and ratification of CITES by Tajikistan in the case at hand, can lead to an improved framework for the sustainable of huntable species, one that leads to greater transparency in the flow of funds and greater support for community-based conservation models.
