1 July 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) entering into force
Geneva, 1 July 2015: The efforts of the 181 Parties to CITES to combine international cooperation with national action are being recognized on the 40th anniversary of CITES entering into force on 1 July 1975.Since 1975 when CITES came into force the world has witnessed growing prosperity, changing consumption and production patterns, vastly enhanced scientific knowledge, phenomenal advances in technology and, above all, exponential growth in global trade. Looking at population figures alone, the world's population has grown from 4 to over 7 billion people – and that is an additional 3 billion potential consumers of wildlife and wildlife products.
