In a statement opposing a tabled bill in California, a spokesperson for the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) cited the IPBES Global Assessment and its finding that the direct exploitation of species poses a major threat to biodiversity. The spokesperson opposed the Assembly Bill 719 in the Californian State Legislature, which would allow the commercial import and sale of crocodile and alligator parts and products in California to continue until 2025. These activities are currently scheduled to be banned on 1 January 2020.
