Question

What are international measures for the conservation of wildlife?

Answer 1

For the Conservation of Wildlife the main and most important one ins CITES. The Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

On its own its nothing more than a document listing the three categories of Flora and Fauna and their at risk classification. But when countries who signed on to CITES legislated this list in their own Statutes it then is quite effective.

In Canada the statute giving CITES power is WAPPARITA.
