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

An invaluable reference book, showing the dates of inclusion, transfer and deletion of all taxa that are or have been included in the CITES appendices, together with dates of the making and withdrawal of reservations by the Parties.

This checklist provides alphabetical lists of the species of fauna and flora included in Appendices I, II and III of CITES in order to help management and scientific authorities, customs officials, and all others involved in implementing and enforcing the Convention. This list provides not only the scientific names but also the common names in English, Spanish and French.

A history of the evolution of CITES, with its numerous resolutions and decisions, and a guide to its complex structure.
