It is of our best interest to support the “downlisting” of the specie Yacare Overo (Caiman Latirostris) from the ESA (U.S. Endangered Species Act). U.S. Market is interested in products made of Caiman Latirostris skins. Argentina’s Exporters, Tanneries, Footware, Bags and Accesories Industries and Designers that use this skins are not able to reach U.S. buyers as the specie appears in the ESA Argentina’s Caiman Latirostris Population is included in CITES Apendix II due to successfull local ranching programs that serve to conserve and build the number of specimens while protecting the environment and provide income to over 1000 families that earn their livings in activities directly or indirectly-related to these undertakings. We are hopeful that Caiman Latirostris will be "downlisted" from U.S. Endangered Species Act. Sincerely, Andres Trachter TEJUS SRL Vice President
