CITES Animals Committee

(U.K) CITES Animals Committee

The Animals Committee provides advice to CITES Parties on biological and trade information relating to animal species. It advises when certain species are subject to unsustainable trade and recommends remedial action (known as the Significant Trade Process), undertakes periodic reviews of animal species listed on the appendices, drafts resolutions on animal matters for consideration at Conferences and performs other functions entrusted to it by the Conference of the Parties or the Standing Committee. The Committee consists of members from each CITES region elected at the Conferences and also observers.
