Wild species born/bred and raised/produced in captivity or through artificial propagation (e.g., activities such as closed-cycle breeding, horticulture or aquaculture)
Stage of the value chain covered by the record
Entire value chain
Record Source
Scientific publication (e.g., journal articles and book chapters independently peer-reviewed)
Non-detriment findings for international trade in wild orchids from developing countries; A case study for Broughtonia sanguinea in Jamaica
Unknown/not recorded
Is the species endemic HIDE
Yes
Population Status
Common but only within narrow areas of distribution
As well as passing legislation to meet CITES re- quirements and conduct trade in all listed species, the government of Jamaica has approved a policy towards orchid conservation. B. sanguinea is regulated in Jamaica, listed on Annex II of the Endangered Sp
Threats/Pressures impacting the conservation of the species
Extractive (i.e., the entire organism or parts of the organism are removed from its environment)
If extractive, for the target species, is this use
Non-Lethal
Does this use involve take/extraction of
Only parts or products of the organism (e.g., feathers, leaves, branches, eggs, nuts)
Details of parts/products taken
B. sanguinea and other epiphytic orchids are normally removed without significant damage to their host tree; felling of trees purely for collection of orchids is rare.
Are specific characteristics/traits being targeted?
Unknown/not recorded
Purpose of Use
Income generation from trade at individual or household or community
What is the main end use for any living organisms, parts or products taken/extracted?
Local people (e.g., individuals, communities, co-operatives)
National external (individual, groups. e.g., hunters, anglers, photographers, tourists)
International external (individual, groups. e.g., hunters, anglers, photographers, tourists)
Is the use part of a strategy to generate conservation incentives, to finance conservation, or to improve tolerance/stewardship?
Unknown/not recorded
Is there evidence that the use is affecting the conservation status of the species? HIDE
Unknown/not recorded
Is there evidence that the use is affecting natural selection?
Unknown/not recorded
Is there evidence that the use is affecting poaching of illegal wildlife trade?
Unknown/not reported
Is there any evidence that this use of the species is having a knock-on effect on the status of non-target species
Unknown/not recorded
Unknown/not recorded
Yes, considered unsustainable
Details of assessment carried out
The available data on population density along with ongoing threats to its habitat indicate that the precautionary principle should be followed by progressively reducing the export quota for wild-sourced Broughtonia sanguinea.
With what is known of its population distribution and under the current legislative, conservation and trade framework, it is re- commended that the annual export quota for wild-sourced plants be reduced from the current number of 100 to 50 and thereafter phased down to zero. In addition, it is advised that the move from export of wild-sourced to artificially produced B. sanguinea plants, which started in the early 2000s, be further facilitated, not just for B. sanguinea but for all native orchids
Has a valuation of financial flows from this use at the site/national/international level been recorded
