Support for CITES implementation
UNEP-WCMC manages the CITES Trade Database on behalf of the Convention, based on the annual reports made by Governments which include full details of all export and import permits and certificates issued during the previous year. In addition, UNEP-WCMC manages the CITES Species Database, which includes CITES nomenclatural, distribution and legal data for all CITES listed species. The Centre also produces a range of outputs based on these databases, which are also available online.
