Illegal tarantulas threaten the species Guadalajara conference considers conservation strategies for the spiders

Illegal tarantulas threaten the species
Guadalajara conference considers conservation strategies for the spiders
If you’re looking to buy a pet tarantula in Mexico there are two main options: buy one legally from an established business that is authorized to sell the spiders or get one on the black market.
But only the first alternative will help conserve the endangered species whereas the second option will further contribute to its demise, according to tarantula researchers and breeders, who are meeting this week in Jalisco.
They are being joined by importers, vendors, investors and enthusiasts from Mexico, the United States and Canada at a tri-national tarantula seminar in Guadalajara.
Central to the meeting’s agenda is coming up with strategies to ensure the conservation of tarantula species and promoting the legal trade of the hairy arachnids over their sale in the shadow economy is seen as key.
The founder and operator of the Tarántulas de México Wildlife Management Unit in Guadalajara told the newspaper Milenio that the commercialization of tarantulas that have been illegally removed from their natural habitat has been devastating for the species, particularly the tarantula commonly known as the Mexican redknee.
“It’s astonishing [and] very sad, we have a species called the brachypelma smithi that has been [commercially] exploited for a long time and because of that it’s now very rare to find one on the coast of Jalisco,” José Rodrigo Orozco Torres said.
“The redknee is almost impossible to see in the wild now. Yes, there are some but very few compared to what there were before. They are in serious danger of extinction,” he added.
The spider’s popularity in the pet trade means that they have been targeted by traffickers who sell them illegally in markets such as the Baratillo Tianguis in Guadalajara and the Sonora market in Mexico City.
In addition to bringing the redknee tarantula to the brink of extinction, buying wild tarantulas also contributes to the creation of an ecological imbalance, according to the general director of the Arachnida wildlife management unit in Mexico City.
“They are apex predators . . . let’s say they are the tigers or lions of small animals . . . they control [insect] plagues and other animals,” Jorge Mendoza said.
In contrast to illegal vendors, registered breeders and businesses are committed to the sustainable trade of tarantulas.
People who buy spiders bred and raised in captivity, rather than in the wild, help to ensure their long-term survival because it also ensures that the people dedicated to the spiders’ survival have a viable business model.
According to the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (Conabio), Mexican breeders raise between 11,000 and 14,000 tarantulas per year.
While many are exported for sale in the pet trade, there are also plans to begin releasing some back into the wild to help repopulate the depleted species.

Day of the salamander proposed by senator The declaration would help conserve the endangered Mexican axolotl Mexico News Daily | Thursday, March 1, 2018
https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/senator-urges-feb-1-be-day-of-the-salamander/?utm_source=Mexico+News+Daily&utm_campaign=52a09ef671-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f1536a3787-52a09ef671-348153685
Day of the salamander proposed by senator
The declaration would help conserve the endangered Mexican axolotl
A senator has proposed that February 1 be declared the Day of the Axolotl in order to promote conservation of the species of salamander that is native to Mexico.
Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum), also known as Mexican salamanders, have become commonplace pets and for years have fascinated all and sundry with their ability to regenerate tails and limbs.
Despite their domestic popularity, in their natural habitat the axolotls have been considered critically endangered since 2010. Population counts conducted over the years have shown a sharp drop in their numbers in the wild: there were 6,000 specimens per square kilometer in 1998, but only 35 in 2014.
Senator Silvia Guadalupe Garza Galván proposed that the National Day of the Mexican Axolotl be February 1, the date this year on which the scientific journal Naturepublished a genomic study of the salamander’s regenerative abilities.
Garza explained that axolotls once thrived in the Mexico City canals of Xochimilco, but tourist activity in the area, along with illegal sewer discharges and farming and fishing activities, have had a negative impact on the ecosystem.
The introduction of invasive fish species such as tilapia and perch is another factor that has contributed to the axolotls’ reduced numbers.
“By declaring the national day we would be acknowledging the biological and cultural worth of the Mexican axolotls’ survival,” said Garza.
The senator added that axolotls have been a part of Mexican culture for years, serving as a delicacy on Aztec and contemporary tables and earning mention in the works of Mexican writers.
Today, their scientific study could one day lead to a better understanding of their regenerative capabilities and, further along, dramatically improve human health.
