The theme of this year鈥檚 World Wildlife Day 鈥 鈥淧artnerships for Wildlife Conservation鈥 鈥 strongly resonates with 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播, with partnerships at the very core of our Union鈥檚 identity. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 is comprised of 1,400 Members from national and subnational governments, civil society and Indigenous peoples鈥 organisations. Notably, our scientific strength stems from the combined knowledge of 15,000 experts in Commissions, together with Member organisations and the Secretariat.

This year鈥檚 World Wildlife Day is particularly special for us, as it marks 50 years since the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) was drafted, as a result of a Resolution from the 1963 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Members鈥 Assembly.

Over the last five decades, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 and CITES have developed an enduring partnership around our shared goal of ensuring the sustainability of international wildlife trade. Our partnership with CITES was most recently seen in full force in November 2022 during the 19th Conference of the Parties to CITES (COP19).

In the lead up to and during CITES COPs, the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Secretariat and Species Survival Commission members work with TRAFFIC to provide key species expertise to inform decisions made by Parties to the Convention. Collaboration with a wide range of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 partners reinforces the evidence-based recommendations and information, which strengthens our impact. This includes maintaining the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Threatened Species, analysing proposals to amend the CITES Appendices, and highlighting the sustainable use of a wide range of species.

香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 will proudly continue to strengthen our collaboration with CITES, and throughout 2023, we will update guidance on the sustainable global trade in CITES-listed species. This will help ensure the Convention is effectively implemented.

The aim of this year鈥檚 World Wildlife Day is to inspire global society to enter into a partnership with nature. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 is pleased to work towards this goal with CITES.
