Announcing

CITES-L

A LIST FOR DISCUSSION AND POSTINGS OF ISSUES RELATING TO THE TRADE IN
WILDLIFE AND THE CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED
SPECIES (CITES)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The list will provide a medium for discussions on wildlife trade and
CITES related issues. The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC),
where the list will be maintained, has had over 12 years of experience
in dealing with wildlife trade issues and maintains a database of all
reported trade in CITES-listed species on behalf of the CITES Secretariat.
WCMC has regular contact with the CITES Secretariat in Geneva, which
will also be a source of up-to-date information. The 9th Conference of
the Parties of CITES will be held in November of this year in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, USA and we hope to post decisions and results of
discussions as they take place.

If you are interested in joining the list then please read on for
further instructions.

Messages sent to CITES-L are distributed automatically and authors are
solely responsible for the content of their posts. WCMC and CITES does
