Hi Everyone,
"Nautilus Conservation" is such a broad subject so I'm going to try and limit the focus to the specific work I have been involved with and provide links to other work on the subject.
To me, the whole concept of "Saving Species" was pretty abstract until I got in the thick of it and was able to see all of the many, many pieces that go into saving an animal, or plant or ecosystem for that matter. To that end, I'll be going over the different steps that have gone into Nautilus Conservation over the past several decades that have led up to the first proposal to the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to protect nautiluses.
It is an important time in Nautilus Conservation with the 17th Convention of the Parties (CoP) CITES meeting in September-October 2016. Here, the world will vote on whether to regulate the trade of nautiluses.
I'll start with some general background and a "cheat sheet" for abbreviations going forward so it doesn't look like a bunch of jumbled words.
SAVE THE NAUTILUS!!!
