CITES

NDF for export of live occelated spinytails (Uromastyx ocellata)

Commissioned: 24.10.2025

Report no: VKM Bulletin 2026:04

Published: 10.03.2026

Key message:

Export of 45 live occelated spinytails (Uromastyx ocellata) from Norway to Germany will not have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species.

Thus concludes the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM).

The assessment was commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency, which is the management authority for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Norway.

VKM is the scientific authority for CITES in Norway and prepares non-detriment finding (NDF) reports in accordance with the methodology published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and CITES.
