Abstract

Decision directed to Secretariat

The Secretariat shall issue, annually, a Notification to the Parties requesting Parties and non-Parties, in consultation with other relevant bodies, as appropriate, to: a) submit a list of their endemic CITES-listed species of concern using CITES accepted nomenclature, as feasible; and b) provide any information regarding the rationale for their concern, any prior export of these species including any conditions under which those exports were authorized, and/or whether the species is subject to nationally developed conservation programmes, and/or is subject to protection by national legislation.
