The Captive Breeding Specialist Group, the Canid and Wolf Specialist Groups of the IUCN/Species Survival Commission were asked to collaborate in this PVA workshop to assist the recovery effort.

This report is the first one delivered under the Python Conservation Partnership. Established in November 2013, the Partnership aims to contribute to the improved sustainability of the python skin trade and to help facilitate industry-wide change. The present report provides information on how pythons are farmed in Asia, farming’s impact on local livelihoods and the relative contribution of captive python skins to the total trade.
