Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)

CITES is an international agreement between governments (currently 183 Parties) to ensure that international trade of wild fauna and flora is not threatening their survival. At the moment more than 37.000 species of animals and plants are protected under CITES. The trade is diverse, ranging from live animals and plants to a vast array of wildlife products derived from them, including  food products, exotic leather goods, wooden sculptures, jewelry, trinkets and instruments and even types of local medicines.
