The Checklist of CITES species is produced by UNEP-WCMC following each meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES, taking into account all changes agreed by the Parties.

The 2011 Checklist of CITES species, containing updates from CoP15, is the latest edition of this document.

This edition has been restructured, and now comprises:

Part 1: CITES Species Index (previously called the Checklist of CITES Species):

• lists all currently CITES-listed species
• includes scientific and common names, synonyms, and current Appendix listing

Part 2: History of CITES Listings (previously called the Annotated Appendices and Reservations):

• provides a historical record of all taxa currently, or previously listed in the Appendices to CITES
• includes full footnotes clarifying the populations, specimen parts, or specimen origins that are controlled under CITES
• lists all reservations imposed by parties to CITES.
