Episode 595 - Richard York || Delisting Bontebok At CITES
Richard York, CEO of Wildlife Ranching South Africa (WRSA), joins Robbie to talk about WRSA’s proposal to delist the bontebok—an endemic species to South Africa—at CITES. Following a non-detrimental finding submitted to the South African government, the government took up the mantle to remove the bontebok from Appendix II and manage the population through hunting. This proposal is a critical one, as it will be the first voted on at CITES (votes occur alphabetically) and has no reason not to be approved—except if politics and anti-use organizations play their respective games.
