The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of Wild Fauna and Flora advises of new trade regulations for over 500 species of animals and plants have entered into force January 2017. The 183 parties to CITES (182 countries plus the European Union) — the international treaty that regulates global trade in wildlife — will now apply these controls.
The amended list of protected species, called Appendices, is legally binding and will be built into the national laws and practices of governments around the world to give them the required legal force.
Some of the new species listings include pangolins, certain marine species, certain timber species and pangolins. This includes all Dalbergia rosewoods and palisanders, sharks and devil rays among the hundreds of new species brought under CITES trade controls with a ban on all commercial trade in pangolins and African grey parrots.
