78th Meeting of the CITES Standing Committee

The seventy-eighth meeting of the CITES Standing Committee will consider cooperation with other multilateral environmental agreements, the transport of live specimens, specimens produced through biotechnology, and the role of CITES in reducing the risk of potential zoonotic disease emergence associated with international wildlife trade.

The sixth and final day of the 78th meeting of the Standing Committee (SC78) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) started off in high spirits, with many participants lauding the Convention’s ongoing efforts to team up with the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) on a joint initiative on jaguars. Bearing in mind the successful example of the CMS Central Asian Mammals Initiative, many felt hopeful that by joining forces, the two conventions will be able to pull off a similar feat in the Americas.
