CITES 24d ago

"Through CITES, governments are working together to act on these warnings and ensure that global trade in hashtag#wildlife is not detrimental to species survival. This is made possible through science‑based assessments, strong national legislation, and coordinated enforcement across borders. The question is no longer whether change is underway— it is how boldly we choose to respond to nature’s signals, and how collectively we deliver on our shared global commitments for species, for people, and for our shared planet." CITES Secretary-General Ivonne Higuero shares her message for #WorldEnvironmentDay 2026
