Sustainable use of endangered species under CITES: is it a sustainable alternative?
Article Abstract:
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of Wild Fauna and Flora needs to be amended to allow the sustainable use of some endangered species. Despites CITES' successes, many animals listed under the treaty are not being adequately protected. Allowing sustainable use would encourage local people, and local and national governments to more diligently manage and protect their resources.
