CITES World

CITES World is a biannual newsletter published by the CITES Secretariat as an official newsletter of the Parties.

Click here to see the 11th issue which focuses on Appendix III - the seemingly forgotten list of CITES species. It looks at the current level of trade in Appendix-III species, what makes for a suitable listing, the contribution Appendix III has made to national conservation efforts and the future of this interesting, if obscure, conservation mechanism.
