Australia to Propose White Shark for CITES Listing
Lobbying by Australian NGOs, including the Humane Society
International (HSI), resulted in a pre-election promise from the
Australian government to nominate the white shark for a CITES listing
at the next Conference of Parties in the year 2000 in Kenya. Now that
the government has been re elected, HSI has made a request for
information about international trade in shark products to be provided
for reference while developing the nomination proposal.
