Mantella aurantiaca Madagascar in litt. to UNEP-WCMC, 2011). In a previous study, Vences et al. (2004) interviewed local collectors of M. aurantiaca in Andranomena (Andranomena-Mangabe forest) and reported that the number of specimens collected “ranged from 50 00 to 20 000 individuals collected yearly (from Andranomena) for the past 5-10 years”, and noted that all populations visited (one in Andranomena and two in Torotorofotsy) appeared to be healthy. The same study found a high mitochondrial diversity in the populations sampled, indicating a moderate to high effective population size in past generations with no evidence for bottleneck effects resulting from over-collecting (Vences et al., 2004). M. aurantiaca was categorised as Critically Endangered in the IUCN Red List on the basis that “its Area of Occupancy is probably less than 10 km 2 , its distribution is severely fragmented, and the extent of its forest habitat in east-central Madagascar is declining, and the number of mature individuals might also be declining through over-exploitation” (Vences and Raxworthy, 2008). In addition to the wild populations of M. aurantiaca, a total captive population of around 700 individuals in 51 different institutions has also been recorded, primarily in North America and Europe (Randrianavelona et al., 2010b). Threats: The principal threats facing M. aurantiaca include collection of the species for the international pet trade, and habitat destruction and degradation through activities associated with mining, conversion to agriculture and commercial logging (Randrianavelona et al., 2010a). In particular, mining and deforestation activity affects the ponds used by M. aurantiaca by increasing sedimentation and turbidity (Randrianavelona et al., 2010b), while nearby agricultural activity can influence the water table (Randrianavelona et al., 2010a). According to the CITES MA of Madagascar (in litt to UNEP-WCMC, 2011), collection from the wild is now less of a threat, but the population is still in decline because of habitat loss from mining and agriculture. Three localities in Mangabe inhabited by M. aurantiaca are within zones where controlled exploitation of the forest is planned in future; a further five localities overlap with the Ambatovy mining area or its associated pipeline (Randrianavelona et al., 2010a). Randrianavelona et al. (2010a) noted that M. aurantiaca “can withstand a certain degree of disturbance to the forest surrounding (the) ponds if the integrity of the water body is maintained.” Three ponds were reportedly destroyed by illegal miners in Mangabe between November 2010 and February 2011 (Jenkins and Randrianavelona, 2011). M. aurantiaca is in particularly high demand for the pet trade due to its distinctive bright colouration and ease of keeping and breeding in captivity (Andreone et al., 2006; Rabemananjara et al., 2008b). However there is some evidence, primarily anecdotal, that even intensive collecting has not had a noticeable effect on local population densities (Vences et al., 2004; Andreone et al., 2005; Rabemananjara et al., 2008a; Rabemananjara et al., 2008b). Fires may also pose a threat to M. aurantiaca habitat (Randrianavelona et al., 2010a; Vences et al., 2004). Climate change poses a potential threat to M. aurantiaca. The restricted altitudinal range of M. aurantiaca and its highly fragmented distribution renders the species particularly vulnerable (Randrianavelona et al., 2010b). Trade: M. aurantiaca was listed in CITES Appendix II on 16/02/1995. The species was first exported commercially in the late 1980s or early 1990s, with a few thousand specimens reportedly exported per year (Jenkins and Rakotomanampison, 1994). 55
Mantella aurantiaca According to data in the CITES Trade Database, trade in wild-sourced M. aurantiaca reported by Madagascar 2000-2010 consisted of 29 549 live animals principally exported for commercial purposes (Table 1). Importers reported smaller quantities, perhaps because Madagascar reported on the basis of permits issued rather than actual trade; this was the case in 2000 and 2001 annual reports, but in subsequent reports the basis of reporting was not specified. Annual reports have been received from Madagascar for all years. Table 1. Direct exports of wild-sourced Mantella aurantiaca from Madagascar, 2000-2010. (No trade was reported 2007 or 2008.)

Madagascar published export quotas for live, wild-sourced M. aurantiaca in 2001; quotas were reported to be “in preparation” in 2002 and 2004 but were not published (Table 2). Madagascar adopted a quota suspension between 2004 and 2008 following the establishment of the Scientific Authority (AC25 Doc. 9.3), with the result that no live exports were reported in this period. Export quotas for live, wild-sourced specimens were subsequently published in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Trade in 2010 appears to have exceeded the quota of 550 individuals, however, the CITES Management Authority (Rabesihanaka pers comm. to UNEP-WCMC, 2011) explained that, of the 2329 specimens exported in 2010, 1873 specimens were from the 2009 quota with the remainder from the 2010 quota. CITES Resolution Conf. 14.7 (Rev. CoP15) states that “A Party may decide exceptionally to authorize export in one year of specimens that were obtained in a previous year, and under the quota for that previous year. In such cases, the quota for the current year should not be increased in order to include the specimens obtained in the previous year. Rather the number or quantity of such specimens that will be exported should be deducted from the quota of the previous year.” Table 2. CITES export quotas for live, wild-sourced Mantella aurantiaca originating in Madagascar, and associated global trade in live, wild-sourced specimens, 2000-2010. (No quotas or trade data were reported 2005-2008). 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2009 2010 2011 Quota 8000 * * 2500 550 550 Reported by Exporter 11505 10325 4780 610 2329 Reported by Importer 5676 7245 1450 2681 90 1290 *Quotas were reported to be “in preparation” (www.cites.org) Source: CITES Trade Database, UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre, Cambridge, UK Between 2000 and 2005, indirect trade originating in Madagascar consisted principally of 56
