Central government authorities have been busy working with and on behalf of radical NGOs for 40 years issuing dire warnings about imminent extinction of Large Predators (called �??Charismatic Megafauna�?�) as justification to Declare them �??Endangered�?�, �??Threatened�?� and �??Of Concern�?�. This has resulted in federal programs that have stolen authority and jurisdiction over these animals from State governments in the US, Provincial governments in Canada and national governments in the EU.

With existing international organisations such as the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, formerly OIE), the World Health Organization (WHO), World Trade Organisation (WTO) and other far more appropriate entities, why on earth, and at what cost to wildlife conservation, should CITES determine that it has a leading role (or any role) to play in this arena, other than to hear and take note of anything emanating from these aforementioned organisations?

A depressing article entitled "U.N. issues famine warning," which warned, "Up to 80 million people will be plunged into hunger if climate targets are not met."
