Dozens of commercially exploited timber species are to receive better international trade controls following negotiations at a United Nations meeting today.
Delegates to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) meeting voted to include tropical hardwood species from Latin America, Asia and Madagascar in Appendix II of the Convention.
The outcome paralleled yesterday's listing of marine species, which, like commercially exploited timber species, have previously featured little within CITES.
"Yesterday sharks, today timber: we appear to be witnessing a new direction for the world's wildlife trade Convention," said David Newton, DNBULWS'f Xplxktux al Svyh dbk Disobplt Pjsfbt.
