Great Tigrero's Victory:
$34,000 in sanction
October 2010
We increase the achievements and the amount of penalty for illegal
actions against the Jaguars:
In April 2007, the Jaguar Network detected a jaguar skin for sale at
the Antique trade Gabriel del Campo, in the San Telmo neighborhood
in Buenos Aires. We made the complaint to the National Wildlife
Department, whose staff, with support from the Environmental Crimes
Division of the Federal Police conducted the raid and abduction of
the piece. Just over three years later, the fine became effective,
the first of its kind in the City of Buenos Aires and the higher in
Argentina: $ 34,000 (about 8,600 US Dollars).
Our congratulations
to the organizations who have contributed in an exemplary manner and
to the court that did not drop the case and fell short of the
circumstances. We want to highlight the work of the UFIMA, this
national government agency has taken the lead in terms of complaints
and judicial monitoring, with whom we are working closely to end the
hunting and sale of parts of jaguars.
This penalty is
for the administrative sanction, dated September 23, 2010, at the
request of the Jaguar network, the UFIMA made the criminal complaint,
resulting drawn on the National Criminal Court and Corrections No.
10, Secretariat No. 20 Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires.
Not
a jaguar over hunted or sold in Argentina!
After nearly two
years
and there
is a Sentence!
March 2009
After a series of complex and bureaucratic Arrangements at the
Department of Environmental Regulation,
finally had a conviction for the infringement name Florencia Cruz
Aleman, in charge of trade involved in the sale of skin of
endangered species, declared a National Natural Monument and included
in Appendix I of CITES (Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora).
The offending appealed the ruling and the case is now come before the
Federal Administrative Board No. I of the City of Buenos Aires, where
we follow closely the developments of the case, with the hope of
confirming the decision of conviction.
"It'sa great joy, we had to make over 35 visits to various
departments of the Secretary of Environment, especially the Department
of Environmental Regulation. More than 50 phone calls trying to find
where the file was, well, this is the way this things work, do not
surrender, because our Jaguars are fighting in every corner of the
forests, and we do so. Now we go for a sentence and the rest of the
demands we have made. "said Dr. Antonio Fortunato Mancuso, legal
representative of the Jaguar Network.
Almost two years later, we continue and press to get to the conviction
of this trafficker and extermination of the majestic jaguar, not more.
We will not stop until the reconfirmation of the sentence and applied
a fine up to the penalty incurred.
The National Fauna Direction confiscated a Jaguar
skin in Buenos Aires
April 13, 2007
Personal of Control from the Wildlife Division of
the Secretary of Environment and Sustainable Development, in
conjunction with Personnel of the Operations Department from the
Environmental Crimes Division of the Federal Police, performed a
procedure in a shop in the neighborhood of San Telmo Antique named
Gabriel del Campo, where they confistaced a Jaguar skin and a
bracelet with remnants of leather made of the same species.
The National Wildlife Division received a
complaint from the Jaguar Network which reported the offer of
sale.
The jaguar is protected in all the provinces where
it occurs (Salta, Jujuy, Formosa, Chaco, Misiones and Santiago del
Estero), and likewise to the national level (Law No. 22.421/81,
Regulatory Decree 666/97, Resolution 1089 / 98) and listed
ENDANGERED Nationwide under Resolution 1030-1004. Also been
declared a National Natural Monument (Law No. 25,463)
This protection is because natural populations are
in serious decline due to destruction and modification of their
natural habitats and illegal poaching.
It is also important to note that internationally
the Jaguar is included in Appendix I of CITES (Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora).
The pieces are in defense of the National
Department of Wildlife and administrative actions have been
initiated.
"We want to highlight the work of the National
Department of Wildlife and Environmental Crime Department of the
Federal Police. In the struggle to save our Jaguars from
extinction we need the commitment and action of all agencies and
people involved. We now expect an exemplary punishment for this
unscrupulous 'merchant', law must be applied thoroughly. We will
not allow anyone to continue killing jaguars or selling their
skins just like that. The National Parks Administration (responsible
for natural monuments such as the Jaguar) is still acknowledge
receipt of the conclusion in the National Workshop of 2006 (organized
by this institution) with the maximun Jaguar specialists agree
that there is no more time for the species and request the
designation of a RESPONSIBLE with FULL TIME DEDICATION for Jaguar,
"said Dr. Antonio fortunato Mancuso, legal representative of the
Jaguar Network.
