Committee on Resources Witness Testimony Statement of Andy Ireland
Senior Vice President, Feld Entertainment, Inc.
to the Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans
Committee on Resources
United States House of Representatives
Regarding H.R. 1787, The Asian Elephant Conservation Act
July 31, 1997
At Feld Entertainment, the care and protection of exotic and endangered animals has always been an important element of our corporate vision. The Asian elephant, in particular, is one of our most popular animal performers and perhaps the species most commonly associated with The Greatest Show On Earth. THE CO NSERVATION AND EDUCATION VALUE OF PUBLIC DISPLAY Our role as an educator is one which we take very seriously. The affection and awe that elephants generate among our audiences helps focus attention on the current challenge facing the future survival of the species. In fact, studies have shown that the public display of animals contributes to heightened public awareness of the animals themselves and of man's responsibility for their well-being and protection. This is especially true for children, who not only become more aware of the animals and their special needs and abilities, but also experience first hand the importance of caring for and respecting all animals.

June 15, 2000 MEMORANDUM TO: Members, Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans FROM: Subcommittee Majority Staff RE: Hearing on H.R. 3407 and H.R. 4320 At 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 20, 2000, the Subcommittee on Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans will meet in Room 1334 Longworth House Office Building to hold a hearing on H.R. 3407, the Keystone Species Conservation Act, and H.R. 4320, the Great Ape Conservation Act. Those invited to testify include: The Honorable Bruce Babbitt, Secretary of the Interior; Ms. Ginette Hemley, Vice President for Species Conservation, World Wildlife Fund; Dr. William Conway, President, Wildlife Conservation Society; Mr. Richard Lattis, President, American Zoo and Aquarium Association; Dr. Russ Mittermeier, President, Conservation International Foundation; Mr. Stewart Hudson, Executive Director, The Jane Goodall Institute; and Ms. Christine Wolf, Director of Government and International Affairs, The Fund for Animals. General Background The vast majority of endangered or threatened species throughout the world receive little, if any, U.S. funding. Presently, three U.S. grant programs exist (via the Fish and Wildlife Service) for In-situ conservation: the African Elephant, Asian Elephant, and Rhino and Tiger Conservation Acts and their related Funds (commonly known as the Multinational Species Conservation Fund). In Fiscal Year 2000, collectively, these programs received $2.4 million. Currently, no general program exists to address the general need to conserve all other imperiled species outside the United States.

Save Great Apes, Tigers, Elephants and More! Please urge Congress to increase conservation funding for great apes, tigers, rhinos, elephants and neotropical migratory birds. Congress has established the Multinational Species Conservation Fund to help protect these keystone species from further decline. Habitat destruction and overexploitation have pushed populations of the world's great apes-gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans-to alarmingly low levels. Illegal hunting of great apes for the bush meat trade is taking a major toll on some populations. For decades, WCS has been a leader in the conservation of great apes. WCS began studying gorillas in 1959 with pioneering work by biologist George Schaller and is the only organization in the world working to protect all three gorilla subspecies: mountain gorillas, Grauer's gorillas, and western lowland gorillas. WCS is also working tirelessly on solutions to control the taking of bushmeat, using a combination of hard science, and the involvement of local communities, national governments, and even logging companies. WCS is the only organization in the world focused on the plight of the Sumatran orangutan. WCS has trained Indonesian scientists, discovered new populations of orangutans in Sumatra and worked with local people to ensure orangutan survival.

Endangered Jewelry
by Sheryl Gross Shatz CORAL ELEPHANT IVORY TORTOISE SHELL THE LAWS AND EXEMPTIONS ... The ACCIDENTAL CRIMINAL Humans through the ages have adorned themselves with natural materials. Over time, they have formed jewelry from almost every plant and animal species imaginable. The use of animal products for decorative purposes caused shortages and related problems even as far back as 50 A.D., when the Romans over-exploited elephant ivory from Africa. The Romans solved their shortage by switching to ivory from India instead. Such simple solutions are not available today. Ivory, coral and tortoiseshell are the three jewelry materials most often affected by these laws. This article will focus on how the laws affect each and provide general information to help collectors deal knowledgeably with endangered species jewelry.
CORAL
Reef creation and growth are slow processes; it may take a year for a reef to grow less than an inch. Unfortunately, reef destruction is quick and easy, so coral is rapidly disappearing. Humans cause most of the harm through mechanical destruction, water pollution or even scuba diving. In 1997, a ship 12 miles off the coast of Key West rammed into and severely damaged one of the last remaining coral reefs in that area. Fires and oil from the Gulf War caused widespread visible destruction to the coral reefs there. Both reef coral and deep sea coral are used for jewelry. Italians have carved deep sea coral into cameos for hundreds of years (Heritage February 1992). Like reef coral, the supply of deep water coral is almost exhausted. The early Italian carvers, as well as many collectors today, consider a deep red-orange shade the most desirable.

Trophy Hunting
Corbis Every year tens of thousands of wild animals, representing hundreds of different species, are killed by American trophy hunters in foreign countries. The heads, hides, tusks, and other body parts of most of these animals are legally imported to the United States by the hunters. Many animals imported as trophies are members of species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), such as leopards and African elephants. The ESA allows importation of endangered and threatened species only for scientific research, enhancement of propagation, or survival of the species. However, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which implements the ESA, has broadly interpreted the term "enhancement" to include trophy hunting of threatened species. While the USFWS has rarely allowed the importation of endangered species as trophies, this has not stopped hunters' trophies from making their way across the U.S. border in the guise of scientific research. In 1997, just months after the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History accepted a $20 million donation from big-game hunter Kenneth Behring, the Institution sought a USFWS permit to import the trophy remains of two endangered wild sheep that Behring shot in Central Asia. One of the sheep, a Kara-Tau argali, is extremely rare in the wild where only 100 exist today. After a storm of ugly publicity, the Smithsonian abandoned the permit application. This was not, however, an isolated case. The Smithsonian has been involved in facilitating the import of endangered species killed by trophy hunters in the past. Other museums have done the same.

OUR THREATENED WILDLIFE
INTRODUCTION
Wildlife includes any animal, insect, aquatic, or land vegetation that forms part of any habitat. This includes all varieties of flora and fauna, what is popularly known as biological diversity. India is a unique subcontinent with vast variation in geographic area, topography and climate. It has a great diversity of natural ecosystems from the cold and high Himalayan ranges to the seacoasts, from the wet northeastern green forests to the dry northwestern arid deserts, different types of forests, wetlands, islands, estuaries and oceans. Every ecosystem has its own unique representation of species. THE WILDLIFE DIVERSITY OF INDIA India has about 8 percent of the world’s biodiversity on 2 percent of the earth’s surface, making it one of the 12 mega-diversity countries in the world. Of about 1.75 million species globally identified, around 1,26,188 species have been reported so far from India. The species recorded include flowering plants (angiosperms), mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians, constituting about 17.3 percent of the total, whereas fungi and insects make up nearly 60 percent of India’s bio-wealth. This diversity can be attributed to the great variety of natural ecosystems due to the varied physical and climatic features found in India.

WILDLIFE TRADE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Ivory looks best on elephants
Before the 1989 moratorium on the ivory trade, the African continent saw an astonishing decline in its elephant population due to poaching for ivory. Numbers are today still a fraction of the 1.3 million that existed in 1980, and other factors such as habitat loss and conflict with humans continue to threaten the survival of the 400,000-660,000 elephants estimated to remain today. In Asia, the situation is even worse, with fewer than 50,000 elephants remaining.
The prospect of legal sales of ivory stockpiles from three southern African countries in 2004 is deeply concerning. A disastrous decision at the recent CITES meeting in Bangkok saw Namibia being given approval to re-open the legal trade in ivory souvenirs for the tourist market. IFAW believes that any legal trade - no matter how small - can create a smokescreen for the illegal trade in ivory, leading to increased poaching. In the UK, IFAW is gathering signatures for a petition and asking the public to give up unwanted ivory in an “ivory amnesty” to help this campaign. IFAW and our supporters are also supporting EDM 422 on the proposed stockpile sales, which already has over 280 signatures. IFAW launched a hard-hitting e-mail viral campaign against the ivory trade in April 2004 -

African Elephant Issues:
CITES and CAMPFIRE M. Lynne Corn Susan R. Fletcher
Enivronmental and Natural Resources Division August 5, 1997 97-752 ENR Summary The conservation of African elephants has been controversial recently on two fronts: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES, to which the United States is a party), and a Zimbabwean program for sustainable development called CAMPFIRE, which is partially funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The members of CITES recently voted to down-list elephant populations in three African nations, thereby allowing limited trade in elephant products from those countries. The United States voted against the change. USAID's role in CAMPFIRE is supported by some conservation and hunting organizations and opposed by some animal welfare organizations, which also claim violations of U.S. laws prohibiting lobbying by recipients of federal grants. Opponents are asking Congress to restrict appropriations for CAMPFIRE in the foreign operations bill. Two controversies have sprung up recently about the African elephant. One is the changing status of this species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), of which the United States is a signatory. The other is over a program in Zimbabwe called "CAMPFIRE." The partial funding of this program by the U.S. Agency for International Development has been criticized by animal welfare groups and some conservation groups, though it has been supported by other conservation groups as well as many hunting organizations.

By Karishma Vyas BANGKOK (Reuters) - Illegal poaching and demand from Western zoos are fuelling the extinction of the Asian elephant, animal welfare groups say. They lashed out at zoos in Australia and New Zealand which have requested 37 of the endangered elephants from Thailand. "They say that these elephants are being maltreated in Asia where they are used to pull logs, and that is a situation of great sadness and we are saving them by giving them air-conditioned stalls in zoos," Menon told Reuters on Thursday. Speaking before a meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) gets underway in Bangkok on Saturday, Menon said less than 50,000 Asian elephants remained in the region. The species is, by some estimates, about one tenth of the population of its bigger cousin, the African elephant.

Background Information What Do Threatened and Endangered Mean?
An endangered species is a species that may become extinct. A species is endangered when the number of individuals (called the "population") of a plant or animal species has gotten so low that we're concerned that soon there will be no more of that species left in the world. Threatened means that the species may become endangered in the near future. A species is called "threatened" when the population has gotten low enough that it soon may be hard for the adults in the species to produce enough offspring to get the population back to healthy numbers.
What's a healthy population size?
