They can also potentially lead to the spread of zoonoses, such as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. While the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has been in force since 1975, there are increasing calls to develop a stand-alone international instrument to address illegal wildlife trade and crime.   In our latest Still Only One Earth policy brief, we explore the size of the wildlife trafficking threat, how CITES increased its impact with strategic partnerships. and its response to the pandemic. Read       'Still Only One Earth' Policy Brief Series Supported By     International Institute for Sustainable Development     Share    Tweet    Share    Forward
