Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), in force since 1975, aims to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not constitute a threat to their survival. Nearly 5,000 species of animals and 30,000 species of plants are included in the three appendices of the Convention, and therefore protected by it.
