UNEP ON THE GROUND |
New CITES-UNEP initiative | |
UNEP and the CITES Secretariat launched a new collaborative initiative on 1 May 2015 to provide assistance to priority countries and territories, upon their request, to enhance their legislation to implement CITES. The initiative comes pursuant to CITES resolutions and decisions and follows the call from the UN Secretary General to strengthen the UN’s response to tackling illegal trade in wild fauna and flora. Under the National Legislation Project, 88 countries and 13 dependent territories are identified as in need of strengthening their legal frameworks for combating illegal trade in wildlife and 17 countries are identified by CITES as requiring priority attention.
