ENDANGERED SPECIES<br />

Date of issue: 19 April 2012

Dear Collectors,<br />

This edition of the Facination marks the 20 th anniversary of our highly popular<br />

Endangered Species series. To celebrate the occasion, we asked the renowned Scientific<br />

Illustrator Diana Marques of Portugal to provide stunning images for our anniversary<br />

celebration. Her illustrations make you feel as though you can reach out and touch the<br />

animals.<br />

LETTER FROM THE CHIEF<br />

We also added three of the most popular <strong>endangered</strong> animals featured over the past<br />

two decades. A giant panda, a regal Siberian tiger and a beautiful snow leopard are<br />

highlighted each on one of our three sheets. It’s great to have them back on UNPA stamps<br />

again.<br />

I hope you enjoy the splendour of these magnificent creatures. I also ask that you keep<br />

in mind the reason why we include them in our programme of issues. It’s important<br />

to recognize the preservation of all <strong>species</strong> so that future generations can continue to<br />

experience their beauty and presence as invaluable and irreplaceable resources.<br />

I’ll be anxious to hear what you think of this year’s edition of the Endangered Species<br />

series, as well as our April Autism Awareness stamps. We are so pleased to highlight the<br />

talents of artists with Autism from around the world. I hope you find their images and<br />

personal stories as inspirational as we did.<br />

Thanks as always for your loyalty to our programme.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

David E. Failor<br />

AUTISM AWARENESS<br />

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and<br />

autism are both general terms for<br />

a group of complex disorders of<br />

brain development. These disorders are characterized,<br />

in varying degrees, by difficulties<br />

in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal<br />

communication and repetitive behaviours.<br />

ASD can be associated with intellectual disability,<br />

difficulties in motor coordination<br />

and attention, and physical health issues.<br />

Autism appears to have its roots in very early<br />

brain development. However, the most obvious<br />

signs of autism and symptoms of autism<br />

tend to emerge between two and three years<br />

of age. Studies also show that autism is three<br />

to four times more common among boys<br />

than girls.<br />

More children will be diagnosed with autism<br />

this year than with childhood cancer, juvenile<br />

diabetes or pediatric AIDS combined. ASD affects<br />

an estimated three million individuals<br />

in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide.<br />

Moreover, government autism statistics suggest<br />

that prevalence rates have increased<br />

10 to 17 per cent annually in recent years.<br />

There is no established explanation for this<br />

continuing increase. It is not known whether<br />

this is due to an increasing rate of the illness<br />

or an increased ability to diagnose the illness,<br />

which has included newer definitions<br />

of autism.<br />

Each individual with autism is unique. Many<br />

of those on the autism spectrum have exceptional<br />

abilities in visual skills, music, math,<br />

art and academic skills. About 40 per cent<br />

have average to above average intellectual<br />

abilities. Indeed, many persons on the spectrum<br />

take deserved pride in their distinctive<br />

abilities and “atypical” ways of viewing the<br />

world. Others with autism have significant<br />

disabilities and are unable to live independently.<br />

About 25 per cent of individuals with<br />

ASD are nonverbal but can learn to communicate<br />

using other means.<br />

The overall mission of autism organizations<br />

is to support people affected by autism and<br />

their families to improve the lives of those on<br />

the autism spectrum. For some, this means<br />

the development and delivery of more effective<br />

treatments that can address significant<br />

challenges in communication and physical<br />

health. For others, it means increasing acceptance,<br />

respect and support.<br />

Throughout its history, the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong><br />

family has promoted the human rights and<br />

well-being of people with disabilities. In<br />

that spirit, the world should recognize<br />

the courage of children and adults with<br />

autism as they confront their challenges<br />

with determination, creativity and hope.<br />

Let us empower them and respond to their<br />

needs today, so as to make our societies<br />

more accessible and fulfilling for all<br />

people tomorrow.<br />

AUTISM AWARENESS artists<br />

The <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> General Assembly unanimously declared<br />

2 April as World Autism Awareness Day to highlight<br />

the need to help improve the lives of children and adults<br />

who are affected by the disorder so they can lead full and<br />

meaningful lives.<br />

The <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> <strong>Postal</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> (UNPA) will issue<br />

stamps and first day covers on 2 April 2012 in recognition of<br />

World Autism Day. The stamps, and the artists who designed<br />

them, will together raise awareness about this important<br />

global cause.<br />

The final selection of the artwork was the result of a worldwide<br />

search for talented artists with autism who were eager<br />

Trent Altman (U.S.A.) – “An Abstract Garden II”<br />

Trent Altman is an award-winning artist who exhibits his<br />

work nationally in fine art shows and galleries. He paints<br />

expressionistic abstract pieces in acrylics and mixed<br />

media collages on canvas. Although Trent has autism, he<br />

expresses his perception of the world through artwork. It<br />

reflects a freedom of expression, movement and energy<br />

through the multiple methods used in applying paint and<br />

how someone who has autism can face challenges “with<br />

supports” to live a full life as a contributing member of<br />

society. Art has enabled Trent to live life with increased<br />

independence.<br />

2012 ENDANGERED SPECIES<br />

On 19 April 2012, the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> <strong>Postal</strong><br />

<strong>Administration</strong> (UNPA) will issue a set of 12<br />

stamps depicting <strong>endangered</strong> <strong>species</strong>. These will<br />

be the twentieth set of stamps in UNPA’s multi-year series<br />

Endangered Species. The series was launched on 3 March<br />

1993 to highlight the need for the protection of <strong>endangered</strong><br />

<strong>species</strong> throughout the world. For the twentieth anniversary<br />

of the Endangered Species stamp issue, UNPA is including<br />

three universally recognized and loved animals from previous<br />

years–the Giant Panda, the Siberian Tiger and the<br />

Snow Leopard.<br />

UNPA will issue three miniature sheets of 16 stamps, one<br />

sheet in each of the three currencies. Four different <strong>endangered</strong><br />

<strong>species</strong> will be illustrated on each sheet; hence, 12<br />

<strong>species</strong> will be covered.<br />

Stamp specifications<br />

Format: 39.2 mm horizontally x 28.6 mm vertically, perforation<br />

to perforation<br />

Perforation: 12 1/2 x 12 3/4<br />

Marginal inscriptions<br />

Each sheet includes four marginal inscriptions, two in the<br />

left margin and two in the right margin. The marginal<br />

inscription consists of the emblems of the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong><br />

and CITES, with the year “2012” between the two emblems.<br />

One copyright symbol will appear in the bottom left-hand<br />

corner of each sheet.<br />

The top and bottom borders of each sheet are illustrated<br />

with silhouettes of different <strong>endangered</strong> <strong>species</strong>, a border<br />

design which is consistent throughout the multi-year series.<br />

Each year, the corner illustrations will differ to reflect the<br />

<strong>endangered</strong> <strong>species</strong> featured on the three different sheets of<br />

stamps. The stamps are printed against a beige background<br />

and the marginal inscriptions are black.<br />

Sheet format<br />

Each miniature sheet of 16 stamps accommodates four different<br />

<strong>endangered</strong> <strong>species</strong>, each in se-tenant blocks of four.<br />

Sheet concept<br />

The sheet concept and the border illustrations are the work<br />

of Rocco J. Callari, a <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> staff member.<br />

On 19 April 2012, the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> <strong>Postal</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> will release the 2012 Endangered Species Annual<br />

Collection folder of single mint stamps.<br />

The series “Endangered Species” 2012 will be contained in a specially designed album. The album devotes separate<br />

pages to each of the 12 <strong>endangered</strong> <strong>species</strong>. Descriptive information is provided in English, French and German, and<br />

each stamp is beautifully highlighted by a colourful array of photographs relating to the <strong>species</strong>. It should be noted that<br />

the Endangered Species stamps WILL NOT be included in the Annual Collection albums to be issued later in 2012.<br />

The mint stamps are not affixed inside the album, although spaces and mounts have been provided for this purpose.<br />

TRIPLE-CANCELLED ENDANGERED SPECIES COLLECTION FOLDER<br />

Since the 2012 Endangered Species Collection folder will contain stamps in all three denominations, special arrangements<br />

have been made by UNPA to make available to its collectors the Endangered Species collections in which the stamps will be<br />

affixed and cancelled 19 April 2012, the first day of issue in New York, Geneva and Vienna, as appropriate.<br />

The policy of offering triple cancellations for the Endangered Species Annual Collections will continue throughout the<br />

duration of this series.<br />

2012 ENDANGERED SPECIES<br />

New York (US$ 0.45)<br />

Ailuropoda melanoleuca<br />

COMMON NAME: Giant panda<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Mammalia<br />

Order: Carnivora<br />

Family: Ursidae<br />

The giant panda<br />

is universally admired<br />

for its appealing<br />

markings<br />

and seemingly<br />

gentle demeanour.<br />

Actually a<br />

member of the bear family, the giant<br />

panda is a robust animal with heavy<br />

shoulders and a distinctive black and<br />

white coat. The molars and premolar<br />

teeth are wider and flatter than those<br />

of other bears and the jaw muscles<br />

are large, allowing the giant panda to<br />

grind bamboo. The giant panda is well<br />

known for its “thumb”, which is actually<br />

a modified wrist bone that enables<br />

it to grasp bamboo stalks dextrously.<br />

The historic range of the giant panda<br />

encompassed much of eastern and<br />

southern China, reaching into northern<br />

Viet Nam and Myanmar. Today,<br />

the range is restricted to six separate<br />

mountain ranges in western China, on<br />

the eastern edge of the Tibetan plateau,<br />

in the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi and<br />

Sichuan.<br />

The giant panda is unusual among the<br />

larger mammals for the extreme specialization<br />

of its diet, which depends<br />

almost entirely on bamboo. Bamboo is<br />

a relatively abundant food source but<br />

has poor nutritional value, thus an<br />

adult giant panda must spend around<br />

14 hours a day feeding. It therefore alternates<br />

periods of feeding and resting<br />

throughout the day and night. Bamboo<br />

is evergreen and in winter giant pandas<br />

concentrate on leaves and stems,<br />

descending to lower altitudes in search<br />

of new shoots in spring. Despite its<br />

specialization on bamboo, the giant<br />

panda will readily scavenge on meat<br />

should they come across it.<br />

This <strong>species</strong> is listed on Appendix I<br />

of CITES. Habitat loss is the greatest<br />

cause of the decline of the giant panda.<br />

Large areas of China’s natural forest<br />

have been cleared for agriculture,<br />

timber and firewood to meet the needs<br />

of the large and growing human population.<br />

With more than 160 giant pandas<br />

currently in zoos around the world,<br />

captive breeding programmes are of<br />

critical importance, both as insurance<br />

against the <strong>species</strong> going extinct in the<br />

wild, and to create a source for reintroduction<br />

into the wild.<br />

Calumma brevicorne<br />

COMMON NAME: Short-horned<br />

chameleon<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Reptilia<br />

Order: Squamata<br />

Family: Chamaeleonidae<br />

The most striking<br />

and distinctive<br />

feature of<br />

the short-horned<br />

chameleon is its<br />

large, ear-like<br />

occipital lobes,<br />

and the short bony appendage that<br />

projects from the snout of the male.<br />

Although generally greyish in colouration,<br />

there is some variation between<br />

the sexes and across the <strong>species</strong>’ range,<br />

with the slightly larger males tending<br />

to have a lighter coloured head, and<br />

some specimens being greener and<br />

having blue legs. The size of this chameleon<br />

also varies from one locality to<br />

another, as does the prominence of the<br />

dorsal crest, which is more obvious in<br />

some individuals than in others.<br />

The short-horned chameleon is endemic<br />

to Madagascar, where it occurs<br />

in the eastern and northern parts of<br />

the island. It is found in shrubs and<br />

trees on forest edges. Like other chameleons,<br />

the compressed body, spindly<br />

limbs, grasping feet and prehensile<br />

tail of the short-horned chameleon<br />

enable it to negotiate the branches<br />

and twigs of its arboreal home deftly.<br />

Very little is known about this <strong>species</strong>’<br />

ecology, but in captivity it is known to<br />

feed on a wide variety of insects. When<br />

threatened, it raises its ear-like flaps to<br />

increase its apparent size and attacks<br />

with an open mouth.<br />

The greatest threat to this <strong>species</strong> is the<br />

loss and degradation of its forest habitat.<br />

In the 2,000 years since humans<br />

arrived on Madagascar, the island<br />

nation has lost 90 per cent of its forest<br />

cover, with firewood collection and<br />

slash-and-burn agriculture continuing<br />

to have a devastating impact. It is<br />

listed on Appendix II of CITES.<br />

Leopardus tigrinus<br />

COMMON NAME: Oncilla<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Mammalia<br />

Order: Carnivora<br />

Family: Felidae<br />

The oncilla, also<br />

known as the<br />

Little Spotted Cat,<br />

is a small spotted<br />

feline found in<br />

the tropical rainforests<br />

of Central and South America.<br />

It is one of the smallest cat <strong>species</strong><br />

in the Americas, averaging 2.5 kg.<br />

Oncillas are daintily built cats, with<br />

a narrow head and a white line above<br />

the eyes. The large ears are rounded<br />

and black on the outside with a conspicuous<br />

white central spot. Their coat<br />

is light brown to rich ochre or grey,<br />

with very dark brown or black spots<br />

and blotches. The underside is pale<br />

with dark spots and the tail is ringed.<br />

Although the oncilla has a petite<br />

frame, they are agile climbers and<br />

excellent hunters. Their tails are exceptionally<br />

long for negotiating treetops.<br />

They show a strong preference for<br />

montane forest and are usually found<br />

in high elevations. Oncillas are nocturnal<br />

animals. They make meals of<br />

rodents, small primates, birds, insects<br />

and reptiles.<br />

This <strong>species</strong> has been widely hunted<br />

for the fur trade throughout its range.<br />

Other threats to these felines are deforestation<br />

and poaching. They are<br />

considered rare in most areas and<br />

common in none. CITES has placed<br />

them on Appendix I.<br />

Saguinus oedipus<br />

COMMON NAME: Cotton-headed<br />

tamarin<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Mammalia<br />

Order: Primates<br />

Family: Callitrichidae<br />

The stunning<br />

cotton-headed<br />

tamarin is one of<br />

South America’s<br />

most <strong>endangered</strong><br />

primates. Its<br />

name describes<br />

the fantastic crest of long white hair<br />

flowing around the black face like a<br />

mane of white cotton. This small monkey<br />

has a long tail, which assists in<br />

balance. It is reddish orange towards<br />

the base and black towards the tip. Like<br />

marmosets and other tamarins, the<br />

ancestral primate nails on their toes<br />

and fingers have evolved into claws on<br />

all but their big toes, allowing them to<br />

climb in a squirrel-like fashion in the<br />

trees.<br />

These social monkeys live in groups<br />

of 3 to 13 individuals, are territorial,<br />

scent marking their home ranges and<br />

defending them with showy confrontations,<br />

fluffing up their fur and making<br />

loud calls to scare away intruders<br />

and attract individuals from their own<br />

group.<br />

The cotton-headed tamarin feeds on<br />

fruit, insects, tender vegetation, small<br />

vertebrates and bird eggs. With the<br />

exception of smaller prey, animals are<br />

killed with a bite to the head. When not<br />

feeding, much time is spent in social<br />

grooming.<br />

The <strong>species</strong> is now confined to<br />

Colombia. The cotton-headed tamarin<br />

has been found in a variety of habitats<br />

from wetland tropical forest, to moist<br />

woodland forest and dry thorn forest<br />

savannah.<br />

Deforestation is the greatest threat to<br />

this <strong>species</strong>. It has already lost most<br />

of its habitat through forest clearing<br />

for timber, charcoal, human settlement,<br />

agricultural land and industry.<br />

The cotton-headed tamarin is listed on<br />

Appendix 1 of CITES.<br />

Panthera tigris altaica<br />

COMMON NAME: Siberian tiger<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Mammalia<br />

Order: Carnivora<br />

Family: Felidae<br />

One of the larg est<br />

of the “big cats”,<br />

the tiger is an instantly<br />

recognizable<br />

and emotive<br />

animal. Like the<br />

other big cats, tigers<br />

are well adapted for hunting large<br />

prey and have short, heavily muscled<br />

forelimbs and long, sharp, retractable<br />

claws. Nine different sub<strong>species</strong> of the<br />

tiger are recognized, three of which<br />

became extinct in the latter part of<br />

the twentieth century. The different<br />

sub<strong>species</strong> vary in their body size, coat<br />

colour and markings. The Siberian tiger<br />

is the largest and palest sub<strong>species</strong>.<br />

The range of the tiger once extended<br />

throughout central and southern Asia<br />

and as far west as eastern Turkey,<br />

but today the tiger survives only in<br />

scattered populations from India to<br />

Southeast Asia, and in Sumatra, China<br />

and the Russian Far East. It occurs in a<br />

wide range of habitats, requires dense<br />

cover, access to water and sufficient<br />

large prey.<br />

The tiger is a predominately solitary<br />

creature that defends its territory<br />

against intruders of the same sex. It is<br />

a “stalk and ambush” predator, with its<br />

striped coat providing effective camouflage<br />

in tall grass and forest. Hunting<br />

mainly occurs at night and the principal<br />

prey consists of deer and wild pigs,<br />

but they also prey on a variety of other<br />

animals. Unlike other <strong>species</strong> of cats,<br />

tigers are competent swimmers; they<br />

will readily enter the water, and can be<br />

found lying half-submerged in streams<br />

and lakes in the midday heat.<br />

Human activities are the principal<br />

cause of declining tiger numbers.<br />

Hunting was a major cause of mortality<br />

in the past. Poaching and illegal<br />

killing by livestock owners remains<br />

one of the major threats to the survival<br />

of the <strong>species</strong>. Habitat loss has<br />

occurred through much of the tiger’s<br />

range and also threatens survival, as<br />

land becomes rapidly developed. The<br />

<strong>species</strong> is listed on Appendix I of CITES.<br />

Psittacella picta<br />

COMMON NAME: Painted tiger<br />

parrot<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Aves<br />

Order: Psittaciformes<br />

Family: Psittacidae<br />

The painted tiger parrot is endemic to<br />

Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. It<br />

averages 19 cm<br />

or 7.5 inches in<br />

length, including<br />

the tail.<br />

The plumage is<br />

generally green,<br />

while the breast<br />

and abdomen are more yellowish<br />

green. The head is brownish-red, with<br />

more greyish-brown on the cheeks and<br />

ears. There is a narrow yellow band<br />

on the sides of the neck. The bills are<br />

blue/grey tipped with white and the<br />

eyes are orange. The females look like<br />

the males, but the yellow band on the<br />

neck is absent. Also, the cheeks and<br />

ear covers are greenish-blue and the<br />

breast and sides of the abdomen are<br />

yellow-striped with black.<br />

Painted tiger parrots are found in<br />

montane forests, glades and forest<br />

edges, stunted moss forests, secondary<br />

growth habitat, alpine and subalpine<br />

shrubs, between 1,500 – 2,100 metres.<br />

Their natural diet consists of small<br />

hard seeds, berries and the fruits of<br />

Dacrydium conifers. They feed in low<br />

bushes, flying up to higher trees when<br />

startled.<br />

While this <strong>species</strong> is not globally<br />

threatened, the painted tiger parrot is<br />

listed in Appendix II of CITES.<br />

Iguana iguana<br />

COMMON NAME: Green iguana<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Reptilia<br />

Order: Squamata<br />

Family: Iguanidae<br />

The green iguana<br />

is one of the best<br />

known reptiles<br />

due to its popularity<br />

in zoos<br />

and with private<br />

reptile keepers. It has a very distinctive<br />

appearance, with a large head and<br />

a pronounced dewlap (a fold of loose<br />

skin hanging below the throat). It has<br />

an impressive crest of comb-like spines<br />

that runs down the centre of the back<br />

and tail. While, like its name suggests,<br />

this iguana is usually a shade of green<br />

(from dull, grassy green to vivid turquoise),<br />

bright orange individuals may<br />

occur in the northern parts of its range<br />

and the colour may also vary with<br />

temperature, particularly when young,<br />

being bright green when hot and dull<br />

and dark when cold.<br />

The green iguana has a wide distribution<br />

ranging from the Mexican states of<br />

Sinaloa and Veracruz, through Central<br />

America and into South America as far<br />

south as Peru, Paraguay and northern<br />

Argentina. Green iguanas most commonly<br />

inhabit tropical forests close to<br />

water. They are primarily a tree-dwelling<br />

reptile and specialized leaf-eaters,<br />

consuming the tender green leaves and<br />

flowers of a selection of trees, shrubs<br />

and herb vegetation. For over 90 per<br />

cent of the time, green iguanas are<br />

inactive and often, when they do move,<br />

they travel slowly. However, if required,<br />

green iguanas are capable of running<br />

fast and will dive into water to escape<br />

predators.<br />

The green iguana is hunted in some<br />

countries for its beautiful, commercially<br />

valuable skin, prized flesh, and<br />

eggs. It is also frequently hunted for<br />

food. They are also captured live and<br />

exported for the pet trade. It is listed<br />

on Appendix II of CITES.<br />

Propithecus tattersalli<br />

COMMON NAME: Golden-crowned<br />

sifaka<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Mammalia<br />

Order: Primates<br />

Family: Indriidae<br />

The goldencrowned<br />

sifaka<br />

is the smallest<br />

of the sifakas. Its<br />

coat is creamy<br />

white, and its<br />

common name is derived from the<br />

bright golden-orange crown. The<br />

shoulders, upper arms, chest and rump<br />

may also be tinged with this colour.<br />

The hairless, black face is drawn into<br />

a pronounced muzzle and the eyes<br />

are a bright orange colour. White hair<br />

frames the face and the ears are tufted,<br />

giving the face an almost triangular<br />

appearance. Their legs are powerful<br />

and considerably longer than their<br />

arms, which are adapted for upright<br />

leaping from tree to tree.<br />

Endemic to Madagascar, the goldencrowned<br />

sifaka is found in fragments<br />

of forest centred on the village of<br />

Antanimarazoko. They inhabit dry,<br />

deciduous or semi-evergreen remnant<br />

forest patches and feed on a variety of<br />

unripe fruit, seeds, shoots and leaves<br />

and bark. Their entire range is just<br />

over 88,000 hectares.<br />

Of all lemurs, the golden-crowned<br />

sifaka has one of the most limited distributions.<br />

Vast tracts of their habitat<br />

have been cleared and the isolated<br />

patches of forest that remain are under<br />

pressure from logging and bush fires.<br />

The <strong>species</strong> is also hunted in some<br />

areas, and the recent discovery of gold<br />

in the region has resulted in an influx<br />

of miners, causing further habitat loss<br />

and the hunting of lemurs for food. It<br />

is listed on Appendix I of CITES.<br />

Panthera uncia<br />

COMMON NAME: Snow leopard<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Mammalia<br />

Order: Carnivora<br />

Family: Felidae<br />

The beautiful<br />

snow leopard is a<br />

white to smokygrey<br />

colour, with<br />

yellow tinged fur<br />

and patterned<br />

dark-grey to black rosettes and spots.<br />

The snow leopard has many adaptations<br />

for its cold habitat including<br />

long body hair and thick, woolly belly<br />

fur, large paws and a well-developed<br />

chest and enlarged nasal cavity that<br />

warms the cold air as it is breathed in.<br />

The long, thick tail is almost a metre<br />

in length and is used for balance and<br />

as added insulation when wrapped<br />

around the body and face at rest. The<br />

short forelimbs and long hind limbs<br />

enable this leopard to be particularly<br />

agile in its steep and rugged habitat.<br />

The majority of snow leopards are located<br />

in the Tibetan region of China.<br />

Extremely fragmented populations are<br />

found in the harsh, remote, mountainous<br />

areas of central Asia. Most active<br />

at dawn and dusk, snow leopards are<br />

opportunistic predators capable of<br />

killing prey up to three times their own<br />

weight. Their prey consists mainly of<br />

wild sheep and goats, although livestock<br />

will also be taken. These cats will<br />

kill an average of one large animal<br />

twice a month.<br />

The natural prey of the snow leopard<br />

has been systematically hunted out of<br />

many areas of the high central Asian<br />

mountains and leopard numbers have<br />

declined as a result. These big cats<br />

often turn to domestic stock as an alternative<br />

source of food and this can<br />

incite retaliation from local farmers,<br />

which has also contributed to its decline.<br />

The <strong>species</strong> is listed on Appendix<br />

I of CITES.<br />

Polyplectron schleiermacheri<br />

COMMON NAME: Bornean<br />

peacock-pheasant<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Aves<br />

Order: Galliformes<br />

Family: Phasianidae<br />

The highly<br />

threatened<br />

Bornean peacock-pheasant<br />

is<br />

a strikingly beautiful<br />

but elusive<br />

<strong>species</strong>. The upperparts<br />

and tail of the male Bornean<br />

peacock-pheasant are reddish-brown<br />

and liberally decorated with distinctive<br />

blue-green markings resembling eyes,<br />

known as “ocelli”. The male also has<br />

a pure white throat and upper breast,<br />

with a stunning metallic blue edge,<br />

and an orange, featherless face. The<br />

female Bornean peacock-pheasant is<br />

smaller and less colourful than the<br />

male. Vocalizations of both males and<br />

females are loud, harsh cackles.<br />

The Bornean peacock-pheasant is<br />

endemic to Borneo (Indonesia and<br />

Malaysia). The range of the bird is not<br />

entirely understood due to the birds<br />

elusive nature, but it is thought to extend<br />

across the entire island.<br />

The greatest threats to the Bornean<br />

peacock-pheasant are habitat loss<br />

and hunting. The forests of Borneo<br />

have been devastated by logging and<br />

clearance for plantations, particularly<br />

rubber and oil palm plantations. From<br />

1985 to 1997, Kalimantan (Indonesian<br />

Borneo) lost around 25 per cent of<br />

its evergreen forests. Forest fires also<br />

pose a significant threat to the habitat<br />

of the Bornean peacock-pheasant.<br />

The <strong>species</strong> is listed on Appendix II of<br />

CITES.<br />

Tyto novaehollandiae<br />

COMMON NAME: Masked owl<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Aves<br />

Order: Strigiformes<br />

Family: Tytonidae<br />

The masked owl,<br />

also known as<br />

the Australian<br />

masked owl is a<br />

medium-sized<br />

owl (40-50 cm<br />

long) with dark<br />

eyes set in a prominent flat, heartshaped<br />

facial disc that is encircled by<br />

a dark border. It has a stocky, often<br />

crouched posture, strong, heavy feet<br />

and feathered legs. This <strong>species</strong> exists<br />

in several colour forms, with wide<br />

variation in plumage. The upperparts<br />

are grey to dark brown with buff to rufous<br />

mottling and fine, pale spots. The<br />

underparts are white to rufous brown<br />

with variable dark spotting. The palest<br />

birds have a white face with a brown<br />

patch around each eye; the darkest<br />

birds have a chestnut face.<br />

Masked owls live in dry eucalypt forests<br />

and woodlands from sea level to<br />

1,100 metres. They roost and breed in<br />

moist eucalypt forested gullies, using<br />

large tree hollows or sometimes caves<br />

for nesting. Their typical diet consists<br />

of tree-dwelling and ground mammals,<br />

especially rats. Its nocturnal and<br />

secretive behaviour pattern includes<br />

long periods at night without calling<br />

during the non-breeding season, and<br />

aversion to light, making it a difficult<br />

<strong>species</strong> to detect and study.<br />

Major threats to the masked owl include<br />

the loss of trees which contain<br />

hollows and loss of habitat for its prey<br />

<strong>species</strong>, which in turn deprives the<br />

owl of its natural food source. Other<br />

threats include clearing of habitat for<br />

grazing, agriculture, forestry or other<br />

development. The <strong>species</strong> is listed in<br />

Appendix II of CITES.<br />

Ambystoma mexicanum<br />

COMMON NAME: Axolotl<br />

TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION:<br />

Class: Amphibia<br />

Order: Caudata<br />

Family: Ambystomatidae<br />

The remarkable<br />

axolotl is part<br />

of the family of<br />

“mole salamanders”.<br />

It exhibits<br />

an unusual and<br />

extreme trait<br />

known as neoteny, or paedomorphosis.<br />

This is the retention of larval stage<br />

characteristics throughout its life, so<br />

axolotls usually never fully resemble<br />

an adult salamander. Unlike other<br />

amphibians, most axolotl fail to metamorphose,<br />

living permanently in water.<br />

Although it does develop lungs, the<br />

axolotl’s most bizarre feature is its retention<br />

of its branch-like gills, which<br />

are external projections from the neck<br />

on each side of the head. Each side has<br />

three branches covered with feathery<br />

filaments which increase the surface<br />

area for gas exchange. The axolotl has<br />

a long, slim and darkly coloured body,<br />

and short legs, with four digits on the<br />

front feet and five digits on the hind<br />

feet.<br />

The axolotl is native to the ancient water<br />

channel system of Mexico City, preferring<br />

deep salty water with plenty of<br />

vegetation. It is inactive during the day,<br />

resting with its gills splayed. They move<br />

slowly and may surface occasionally to<br />

take a breath of air. Young axolotl feed<br />

on algae, but older individuals will eat<br />

aquatic invertebrates. The axolotl is<br />

primarily preyed upon by herons.<br />

While there are large numbers of<br />

axolotls in captivity around the<br />

world, particularly in biomedical and<br />

physiological research laboratories,<br />

numbers of wild axolotls are very low.<br />

Previously, capture of this <strong>species</strong> for<br />

the international pet and research<br />

trade contributed to population declines,<br />

but the axolotl now breeds well<br />

in captivity, alleviating this threat. The<br />

most significant threat to the axolotl<br />

is the increasing pollution of the lakes<br />

and canal system as Mexico City continues<br />

to grow. The axolotl is listed on<br />

Appendix II of CITES.<br />
