".
I fully support this resolution, which calls for the use of the precautionary principle as the leading principle for decisions on CITES working documents and listing proposals.
History has shown that large-scale commercial hunting and sale of wild animals frequently pushes species to the brink of extinction. The trade in wild animal meat for human consumption is just one part of a wildlife trade which includes ivory, fur and the trade in certain animal body parts – a trade which threatens biodiversity and the ecological balance of areas such as Central and West Africa.
It is clear that there is a close link between poverty, economic and social development, and bush meat consumption. That is why the issue must be addressed in the context of overall development strategy and poverty alleviation. At a national level, EU governments must ensure that their development aid policies are ‘conservation-audited’ to support biodiversity and habitat retention."@en1
