| The Convention on International Trade in Endangered and Wild Life Species of Fauna and Flora | |||||||||||
| The international wildlife trade, worth billions of dollars annually, has caused massive declines in the numbers of many species of animals and plants. The scale of over-exploitation for trade aroused such concern for the survival of species that an international treaty was drawn up in 1973 to protect wildlife against such over-exploitation and to prevent international trade from threatening species with extinction. | |||||||||||
