CITES Manual for Botanic Gardens: Second Edition

This revised and updated BGCI CITES Manual, available in English and Spanish, reflects the evolution of CITES itself since 1994, when this pamphlet was first published.

It brings up-to-date the original CITES Manual compiled by John Akeroyd, Noel McGough and Peter Wyse Jackson in 1994.

Greater understanding of how plants are used commercially, both in rural populations and in large international trade, has pushed the CITES into new territory.

This revised edition features the following chapters:

Preface
Introduction
Outline of CITES
CITES procedures
The contribution of botanic gardens to the implementation of CITES
A CITES checklist for botanic gardens
References and resources
Glossary
