The 2003 version of the CITES Checklist not only provides an alphabetical list of the fauna and flora included in Appendices I, II and III of CITES as adopted by the Conference of the Parties, but includes as well a CD-ROM containing the Annotated Appendices which have an index to family names and common names. A significant help to Management and Scientific Authorities, Customs officials, and all others involved in implementing and enforcing the Convention, the list provides available common names in English, Spanish and French in addition to the scientific names.
