2.1.1

Principle 2: Sustainable use of biodiversity

Criteria Guidance Evidence & Scoring Importance & Applicability
Criteria 2.1: Criteria 2.1: Practices are adopted to ensure sustainable use of the species cultivated or wild collected, and to prevent or mitigate negative impact on other species


2.1.1

Cultivation, wild collection and trade of cultivated and wild collected species comply with laws and regulations implementing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and other national or local rules on rare, threatened or endangered species.



There is evidence that CITES and other relevant regulations are known and taken into account when cultivating, collecting, trading crops and wild species. Rules are respected on what can be cultivated and collected, and the way it should be cultivated and collected and traded so as to not threaten the survival of plants and animals. When they exist, relevant permits to work with certain species are available. OaS and field operators are responsible for checking and complying with relevant legislation. In the case of small farmers or individual pickers, farmer/pickers groups or the OaS are in charge of checking the legislation and ensuring compliance.

DOCUMENTATION

Proceedings from relevant authorities for breaking rules safeguarding the survival of plants and animals can be used as evidence of non-compliance. Formal authorisation/permits from relevant authorities to collect/cultivate and trade certain plants/animals and the products derived from them can be used as evidence of compliance.


INTERVIEWS

Discussion with relevant informants showing awareness of regulations to protect the survival of plants and animals can be used as evidence for compliance.
