Abstract

This Act aims at compliance of Bermuda with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (C.I.T.E.S.) of Wild Fauna and Flora. For this purpose, the Act provides rules relative to: (a) trade in specimens that are, or are derived from, animals and plants that: (i) are threatened with extinction or are or may be affected by trade; (ii) may become so threatened if international trade in specimens of such species is not subject to strict regulation; or (iii) require or are likely to require protection or the cooperation of other States in order to prevent or restrict exploitation; and (b) trade in specimens that are difficult to distinguish from specimens referred to above.
