Loss of suitable habitat is mainly due to Front Cover. However, suitable boa habitat has been reduced by one third to approximately 30 million ha from a historical extent of occurrence of about 42 million ha in the Dry Chaco ecoregion. We conclude that CITES has been very effective in stopping the international trade and almost completely eliminating hunting pressure on this snake throughout Argentina. Using a rapid assessment of woody vegetation cover, we estimated the degree of habitat loss in Argentina. We carried out 573 interviews with local residents regardingB the O O K historical R E V I E Wpresence of the species and the ways in which it was used. We evaluated the historical range on the basis of museum and lit- C O M M E N T A R Y erature records, and later adjusted it to incorporate environmental variables. We compiled back- P R O F I L E ground information on trade, biology, and distribution.
