<p>We are working closely with representatives from the music sector, including the
Musicians' Union, the Incorporated Society of Musicians, and the Association of British
Orchestras, to understand the potential impact of the proposal submitted to the 19<sup>th</sup>
Conference of the Parties (CoP19) to CITES to include Pernambuco wood in Appendix
I.</p><p>While the proposal outlines the threats this species faces, we recognise
too that this proposal could create significant burdens for industry and UK CITES
Authorities. We will continue to engage with the sector and other Parties to ensure
that any additional burdens are proportionate to the conservation benefits of the
measures agreed.</p>
