The Secretariat shall:
a) subject to the availability of external funding, commission a study on illegal trade in jaguars (Panthera onca) to:
i) map illegal trade in the jaguar throughout its range, including poaching, trade pathways and networks, and main markets that are driving this trade, and how it is connected to other wildlife trafficking activities in the region;
ii) analyse the uses of jaguar specimens, both within range states and in international markets, as well as the extent to which illegally-sourced jaguar products are entering international trade;
iii) analyse the modus operandi associated with illegal trade in jaguar specimens and possible drivers of this activity; and
iv) characterize the overall impact of illegal trade on jaguar populations throughout the species’ range;
b) present the findings of the study referred to in Decision 18.251, paragraph a) to the Standing Committee together with any recommendations it may consider relevant; and
c) issue a Notification seeking input from Parties, in particular exporting, re-exporting and importing countries affected by illegal trade in jaguar (Panthera onca) specimens, and relevant stakeholders to provide information to the Secretariat for the purposes of completing the study outlined in Decision 18.251, paragraph a).
