	Exotic pet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna, or CITES, moderates the trade of exotic pets around the world, to prevent any threats to their survival and ecological damage.
		Alligators, wolves and wolf/dog hybrids, fennec foxes, wild cat cubs (lions, tigers, ocelots, etc.), snakes, tortoises, spiders, scorpions, rare birds and non-human primates are among the species kept as pets.
		Some exotics are less "wild" than others; dingoes have been in a relationship with humans for generations, and the Bengal cat descends from a hybrid of wild and domestic species.

	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.

	CITES: The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
		CITES is the acronym for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
		Many wildlife species in trade are not endangered, but the existence of an agreement to ensure the sustainability of the trade is important in order to safeguard these resources for the future.
		Wild flora and fauna continually undergo scrutiny by CITES and, every year, proposals to modify the status of certain species, include new species, and define distinctions are reviewed and acted upon.

	Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
		One of the earliest international environmental treaties adopted was the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which seeks to ensure that international trade does not threaten the survival of any species of wild animal or plant.
		In early 1973, the United States convened a conference at the Department of State with 88 participating countries to negotiate a convention to control international trade in threatened species.
		Known to many as the "Washington Convention," CITES was signed by 21 countries in March 1973 and deposited with the Swiss government.

	CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA (1973)
		Trade in specimens of these species must be subject to particularly strict regulation in order not to endanger further their survival and must only be authorized in exceptional circumstances.
		This Convention shall be open for accession by regional economic integration organizations constituted by sovereign States which have competence in respect of the negotiation, conclusion and implementation of international agreements in matters transferred to them by their Member States and covered by this Convention.
		Species included in these appendices are referred to: a) by the name of the species; or b) as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.

		The convention aims to control international trade in certain species of wild animals and plants where this trade threatens these species with global extinction.
		The convention was amended at Bonn in 1979 to provide the legal basis for contributions towards the running costs of the convention.

		When flower species on sale in the bulb market were first tallied it was clear that no distinction was made between domesticated and propagated species and wild species.
		They neglect the fact that all domesticated plants have their roots in wild species and that the species are the basic building blocks for creating new kinds of flowers.
		Consequently in Australia trade in Paphopoedilum delenatii, which has not been collected in the wild for over 50 years, was also banned despite the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of artificially propagated plants in cultivation, all of which were derived from a single specimen collected decades ago.

	CITES, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
		Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.
		Because the trade in wild animals and plants crosses borders between countries, the effort to regulate it requires international cooperation to safeguard certain species from over-exploitation.
		The text of the Convention was finally agreed at a meeting of representatives of 80 countries in Washington DC., United States of America, on March 3, 1973, and on July 1, 1975 CITES entered in force.

		The decline and extinction of species is a natural process in the evolution of life on earth, and there have been several periods of mass extinctions in the prehistoric past.
		International cooperation is vital if such trade in endangered species or their derivatives is to be effectively controlled, and both producer and consumer countries have their share in the responsibility for trade control.
		CITES (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna) was drafted as a result of a resolution adopted in 1963 at a meeting of members of IUCN (The World Conservation Union).

	Biological Diversity in Food and Agriculture
		The linkages between international agricultural trade and environmental sustainability are an important topic of debate at the ongoing negotiations on agriculture.
		Since the entrance into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1993, countries that ratified the Convention have been legally bound to a commitment that aims to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, and the equitable sharing of its benefits.
		The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture is an important international instrument governing the conservation and sustainable utilisation of agricultural biodiversity.

		Its purpose is to ensure that no species of wild fauna or flora becomes or remains subject to unsustainable exploitation because of international trade.
		A listing on Appendix II means that a species is threatened by trade, such as many parrots and corals, and cannot be internationally traded unless member countries ensure that the trade is sustainable through monitoring and regulations.
		CITES also monitors the sustainability of trade in species that may not be endangered, but that are important parts of the planet's resources for the future.

	WWF - Factsheet: illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade
		Each year, hundreds of millions of plants and animals are caught or harvested from the wild and then sold as food, pets, ornamental plants, leather, tourist curios, and medicine.
		While a great deal of this trade is legal and is not harming wild populations, a worryingly large proportion is illegal - and threatens the survival of many endangered species.
		Above all, the aim is to encourage sustainability in wildlife trade - by informing all those involved, including the general public, about the environmental harm that illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade can cause, and by providing guidance and support to counteract it.

	2.3 The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, 1973: Regulating the Hunting Industry in Tanzania
		The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is another international wildlife conservation and management instrument whose scope extends to the hunting industry.
		The main objectives of this Convention are focused at preventing international trade from threatening the survival of species of wild fauna and flora from extinction.
		It is clear from the foregoing that the regulations made under Tanzania's main wildlife law re-echo the directives of the CITES by controlling, regulating and restricting the hunting of endangered wild animal species for purposes of engaging in their trade.
