| Challenges / lessons learned | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Lack of awareness / engagement | Rejection of the CITES CoP20 peregrine falcon downlisting proposal highlighted challenges in advancing sustainable-use approaches where scientific uncertainties remain. Key lessons include the need for strong evidence, effective traceability systems to combat illegal trade, adaptive management frameworks that integrate conservation and sustainable use, and continued collaboration among governments, MEAs, experts, and sustainable-use stakeholders. |

- Op para 1. is directed to the Director General and Commissions. Relating to para 1(a) the IN-WILD project led by IUCN was established to develop indicators and monitoring systems for wildlife use and trade related to Targets 5 and 9.

IUCN CEESP-SSC Sustainable Use and Livelihoods (SULi) Specialist Group has produced resources specifically on Target 5 and 9 reporting (https://www.iucnsuli.org/resources/target-5-and-9-indicator-usage-and-reporting). Relating to para 1(c) SULi published a briefing paper reviewing which CBD Parties are using and reporting indicators for Targets 5 and 9 (https://www.iucnsuli.org/resources/monitoring-the-sustainability-of-wild-species-use). SULi also launched an interactive dashboard allowing country-by-country analysis of indicator uptake and reporting (https://indicatordashboardt5t9.shinyapps.io/indicator_dashboard).
