Overview curated

Taxonomy entered by a named curator and versioned in the repository.

This taxonomy differs from the name CITES reports

Order_name: CITES reports Rosales; this site uses Saxifragales. CITES reports Rosales, which is incorrect: Crassulaceae is placed in Saxifragales under APG IV. This is a taxonomic error in the CITES source.

Trade derived

CITES Trade Database v2025.1, extracted 13 June 2025.

There is no single trade total

Quantities are reported per unit dimension, per traded term, and per reporting side. These are not additive: kilograms and individual animals have no common unit, a live animal is not a carving, and an importer report and an exporter report are two accounts of one shipment rather than two shipments.

Figures below are exporter-reported.

mass in kg: 447 records, 98%
count in specimens: 8 records, 2%

Records per dimension. Not additive across units.

mass measured in kg

447 of 455 records carry a quantity in kg.

IUCN Red List derived

Assessment history. Scope is always stated: a regional assessment is not the species status.

Category movement since listing: not scored. Gate 1: no global assessment has been published since the listing. The most recent assessment predates the listing, so it cannot measure its effect. How this is defined and why some species are not scored

Reported catch derived

NAMMCO catch exports dated 11 June 2025. A reported zero is stored as zero, distinct from an unknown.

No NAMMCO catch records for this species. NAMMCO reports on a subset of marine mammals, so an absence here is expected for most species and does not mean no catch occurred.

Illegal trade seizures derived

Seizure records whose reported taxon resolves to this species.

What the seizure source records

No seizure in the compilation names this species. Matching is on the taxon the source reported, case aside. Across the whole compilation, 225 of 919 rows match one of the 43 species and the rest name other taxa.

Quantities are unitless. The source gives no date or place, so the table shows the product and the reported taxon.

No seizure records attributed to this species.

References withheld
