On Friday, October 8, Indonesia's proposal came up for a vote. The U.S, which is a major importer of illegally logged ramin and whose vote was critical in determining the outcome, voted in favor of the proposal. The proposal passed. We were told by U.S. agency representatives that your comments greatly influenced them to vote in favor of protecting ramin. And your thousands of letters to retailers made a difference: Sears sent in a letter to the U.S. CITES delegation asking it to support Indonesia's proposal.
Your comments made the difference in this vital international effort. Thanks to all who participated!
