The FWS International Affairs Office intends to offer this single-source grant to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). There is no application process for this specific award. This grant is for the purpose of enabling IUCN to provide CITES Parties, including the United States, with essential technical reviews. These reviews concern proposals to amend the CITES Appendices for the upcoming Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties. IUCN, having provided such analyses since 1987, utilizes its global network of expert Specialist Groups to assess each proposal against CITES listing criteria. These expert analyses are particularly valuable for developing countries, ensuring science-based decision-making for species protection under CITES.

| Description: | There is no application process for this grant. This is a notice of intent to satisfy requirements of 505 DM 2. The International Affairs Office intends to enter into an agreement with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This is a single source announcement based on the recipient’s unique ability to carry out the proposed tasks. The Division of Management Authority intends to enter into an agreement with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The project grant will be used to provide CITES Parties such as the United States with technical reviews of the CITES proposals to amend the Appendices for the upcoming Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties. IUCN has been providing an analysis of proposals to amend the Appendices (species listing proposals) for each meeting of the CITES Conference of the Parties since 1987 (i.e. since the 6th meeting; this is now for the 16th meeting). These analyses assist the CITES Parties in evaluating proposals against the CITES listing criteria by providing an assessment of each proposal by relevant experts, who generally would be members of an IUCN Specialist Group. The IUCN Specialist Groups are global volunteer networks of scientists with particular expertise in a given taxonomic group. These expert analyses are particularly useful to developing countries, who may not have the expertise available to make an informed decision on the proposals. Thus, the IUCN analyses contribute greatly to the functioning of CITES, particularly with regard to science-based decision-making as applied to the application of CITES protections to individual species or taxonomic groups. |
