CITES at 50: Decisions, directions, and the road ahead
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has recently marked its 50th anniversary with the landmark 20th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP20) in Samarkand. Hosts Ngoc Anh Nguyen and Koh Jieh Long were joined by Dr. Mark Jones, Head of Policy at the Born Free Foundation and a CITES veteran, to break down the pivotal outcomes.
In this episode, we explore how CITES is evolving to address modern challenges, including the record-setting workload of CoP20, the shift to online and exotic pet trade in Asia, and the imperative for digitalization through CITES e-permits and traceability systems. Dr. Jones shares insights on the critical need for national policy reforms in Asian countries, greater international cooperation with bodies like the Quadripartite Collaboration for One Health, and the complex issues of animal repatriation and welfare for seized live animals.
