Are you qualified to use rodenticides this autumn? (in the UK)

https://www.fginsight.com/news/are-you-qualified-to-use-rodenticides-this-autumn-15354

"There is growing concern about the toxicity of the anticoagulant rodenticides which account for most baits used in the UK, as well as rodent resistance to some of the active ingredients and their effect on the environment, particularly to raptor species at the top of the food chain."

Uniting Against Organized Wildlife Crime

http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2016/09/15/uniting-against-organized-wildlife-crime/

Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) - World Wildlife Conference

https://cites.org/cop17

The CITES Appendices

https://cites.org/eng/app/index.php

Appendices I, II and III - valid from 10 March 2016

https://cites.org/eng/app/appendices.php

Appendix I lists species that are the most endangered among CITES-listed animals and plants. They are threatened with extinction and CITES prohibits international trade in specimens of these species except when the purpose of the import is not commercial.

Appendix II lists species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled. It also includes so-called "look-alike species."

Appendix III is a list of species included at the request of a Party that already regulates trade in the species and that needs the cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation.

Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species -- man -- acquired significant power to alter the nature of the world.
