IUCN/TRAFFIC Analyses of CITES Proposals Available
Thursday 29 July was a landmark for IUCN's Wildlife Trade Programme and TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, as they completed their technical reviews of the proposals submitted to change the listing of plant and animal species on the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Appendices. Publication of the Analyses of Proposals to Amend the CITES Appendices, online and on CD-ROM, is the culmination of three months' intensive consultations involving hundreds of experts around the world. The reviews allow the CITES Parties to form their positions on the proposals based on the best and most up-to-date scientific information.

Note: The CoP13 Prop. 32 is that for the great white shark
