Qatar Ivory Efforts Noted
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change confirmed that Qatar’s participation in the National Ivory Action Plan process under the CITES Convention has concluded, marking international recognition of its efforts. Qatar has implemented 93% of the measures in its national plan, which began in 2018. The 15 measures helped reduce by more than 99% the quantities of illegal ivory seized in other countries that were linked to shipments transiting through Qatar, compared with the eight years before the plan began. The Ministry said it would continue coordination, strengthen monitoring and exchange information. It stressed that completing the plan does not end its responsibility to protect wildlife, and urged travelers and traders to verify that anything they transport is legal and that all necessary permits have been obtained.
