Figure 1.
Import of wild-caught reptiles and amphibians.
The figure shows the numbers of live wild-caught amphibians and reptiles imported into Thailand for the period 1990–2007.
Figure 2.
Import of captive-bred reptiles and amphibians.
The figure shows the numbers of live captive-bred amphibians and reptiles imported into Thailand for the period 1990–2007, illustrating that from 2003 onwards both the number of individuals and the variety of species increased (note the different scale of the left y-axis when compared with Figure 1). The peak in the 1994–1997 is due to the import of large numbers of green iguana Iguana iguana from Colombia and El Salvador and spectacled caiman Caiman crocodilus from Venezuela.

Figure 3.
Captive-bred versus wild-caught animal imports.
The figure shows the proportion of captive-bred amphibians and reptiles imported into Thailand. In some years most of the individuals are captive-bred, whereas in other years almost all are wild-caught (note that in 1992, 1993 and 1999 no trade in amphibians and reptiles is reported).
