Changes in List of Species in Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora

요약

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES or the Convention) regulates international trade in certain animals and plants. Species for which such trade is controlled are listed in Appendices I, II, and III to the Convention. The countries participating in this treaty, including the United States, have adopted species amendments to Appendices I and II. The United States did not enter a reservation on any of these listing amendments approved at the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties. This document incorporates these amendments into the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's regulations implementing the Convention.
