Participating exporters have consented to provide the Management Authority with the names and addresses of all their contracted "collectors". All identified collectors are issued with a hunting licence. Each collector furnishes the Management Authority with the names and addresses of the local community individuals who provide them with animals. The names and addresses of these individuals are included on each hunting licence.

The collection of all lizards is undertaken by licensed collectors (generally from local communities) under the close supervision of an independent field auditor. All animals have their collecting sites recorded which are verified on site by LANGAHA biologists (an association acting within the framework of the University of Antananarivo). Each collector is supplied with standardized registration cards.

When receiving an export order, the exporter advisees the field auditor of the species and number of specimens comprising the order together with the name of the collector who supplies the animals. A registration card is completed for each animal collected. The registration card contains information on the species, collection site, date and name of the person who captured the animal.

All lizards collected under the program are sent to the field auditor for verification, who subsequently enters the information from the registration cards onto a computerized database. Following verification that the numbers harvested from the wild do not exceed the permitted quota, the field auditor forwards the animals to the relevant exporter.

As a condition of their licence, all participating export operations are required to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of lizards. Exporters are also required to open their facilities for periodic inspections by the Management Authority or any other regulatory entity authorized under the experimental management programme.

The export of all Calumma, Furcifer and Phelsuma spp is restricted to the operations participating in the experimental programme. All exports are effected from Antananarivo International Airport. All export consignments are checked at the Airport by the Management Authority with technical assistance provided by the field auditor and LANGAHA biologists to ensure that all specimens that comprise the shipment accord to the number of specimens and scientific names of the species recorded on the CITES Export Permit.
