	Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
		In 1975 an international convention was established to prevent international trade from threatening species with extinction.
		This treaty is known as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
		These are species that any CITES Party identifies as being subject to regulation within its jurisdiction for the purpose of preventing or restricting exploitation and that require the cooperation of other countries in the control of trade.

		These species will be prioritized based on the extent of trade and status of the species, and also the role the species play in the ecosystem, with emphasis on those species for which a CITES listing would offer the greatest conservation benefits to the species, associated species, and their habitat.
		Therefore, since trade does not appear to be a threat to the species and the species is protected by domestic legislation in both range countries, the United States is considering submitting a proposal to remove C. hyperythrus from CITES Appendix II, an action supported by the Mexican Scientific Authority.
		International trade in yew for taxol extraction is significant throughout the range of the genus, especially in the Eastern Hemisphere.

		Once a species is added to Appendix III, the countries that list the species are required to issue permits and ensure that specimens are legally acquired; non-listing range countries must issue certificates of origin; and importing countries are required to ensure that all shipments are accompanied by the appropriate CITES documents.
