Report no: VKM Bulletin 2024:29

Key message:
Export of four live captive-bred ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) from a Norwegian zoo to a Danish zoo will not be detrimental to the survival of the species.
Thus concludes the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM).
The assessment was commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency, which is the management authority for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Norway.
VKM is the scientific authority for CITES in Norway and prepares non-detriment finding (NDF) reports in accordance with the methodology published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and CITES.
