The ESF handled over a few documents with various information about C. melanosterna.
At the same time IUCN/Traffic asked the Studbook Keeper of C. melanosterna to join the Review Team which will review the proposals of Honduras and Guatemala.
By doing this the IUCN shows that they consider ESF to be a serious conservation organisation.
