Species
Status
| Globally,
dugongs are disappearing; they are classified by the IUCN as
Vulnerable to extinction and are listed on Appendix I of the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora (CITES). The critical status of this species,
their importance to biodiversity conservation and the lack of
knowledge concerning their abundance and ecology has recently
been reiterated (UNEP/WWF 2004). |
