Mali may have 100,000 square metres of hedgehog rosewood allowed for export
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) organisation has issued its latest Notification to the Parties (No. 57) allowing Mali to export some hedgehog rosewood (Pterocarpus erinaceus).
The parts are as follows:
1, 39,950.4 cubic metres of Pterocarpus erinaceus are permitted for export, and the Malian CITES management agency may issue the relevant export permit, but only through General Industries Board (GIB).
2) An additional 55,384.8 m3 of CITES export quota is supported by the Convention, but requires the quota applicant (Mali) to provide supporting documentation and a conservation plan, and to complete a series of regulations and procedures before an export permit can be issued.
In other words, a total of 95,335.2 cubic metres of P. vinifera may be allowed to be traded in Mali (39,950.4 cubic metres allowed to be exported and 55,384.8 cubic metres to be allowed to be exported).
Relevant background:
In March 2022, the Convention Organisation (CITES) discussed issues related to the repeated logging and poorly regulated trade in hedgehog rosewood at its 74th Ordinary Session, and in June it issued a Notice to the Parties (NTP) imposing an export ban on seven hedgehog rosewood countries of origin.
Of the 16 known Hedgehog rosewood distribution countries, seven (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone) voluntarily imposed zero export quotas, while seven (Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Togo) were subject to a mandatory ban on the export trade.
It can be said that at that time, trade in hedgehog rosewood was completely ended!
